British-born designer Christian Cowan has released a retro Teletubbies apparel collection inspired by the 90s and Y2K. Christian Cowan spoke about the collaboration, saying: "We treated Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po, and Tinkey-Winkey like the legends they are, shot in an Avedon-esque style, these garments tell the story of our four legendary characters, who have come to step on everyone's necks and have autographed these pieces for their adoring fans."
The Teletubbies retro apparel collection includes t-shirts, denim jackets, hoodies, and jeans. A standout item in the range is the high-heeled boots featuring Dipsy. The boots' material consists of green fleece with a green leather interior. The upper part of the boots has Dipsy's face, ears, and hands. Furthermore, the graphics on the apparel collection display the Teletubbies posing with male and female models. The Christian Cowan x Telletubies apparel collection is available for purchase.
