Comic Crazy!

It started out as a Micro Trend. An ironic jumper, a one off. But now, it's big news. COMICS. Release your inner geek - it's happening. And you need to get involved.

Comic book and knitwear both by Philip Lim

It was Philip Lim that did it. First came the instantly recognizable and infinitely iconic 'crying girl' jumper. Then came the 'Ka-Pows'. Then came an actual real-life fashion-ized comic book, beautifully illustrated and full of beautiful clothes.  Was this some genius plan, formulated by Lim to appeal to our inner nerd? Or is in fact, Lim himself, a secret comic book addict? I don't care but I love the result. LOVE IT.

And apparently the celebs love it too. Cheryl (Tweedy? Cole? I can't keep up) and Little Mix are both huge fans of the trend. Streetwear brand Lazy Oaf are well ahead of the game with their affordable take on this look.
