The Muppet theme on Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's runway took show-goers back to their childhood. The eccentric designer showed off his 2009 collection at Paris Fashion Week that was heavily inspired by the classic puppets, including pieces like a Kermit the Frog scarf and matching hair band.
The gallery shows some of the highlights from the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac Muppet show, which also includes other offbeat pieces like leopard-shaped (not just leopard print!) gloves and dollar bill dresses.
