As a fan of the show, I was ecstatic to see that Internet fashion label Black Milk would be launching an Adventure Time collection. The cartoon, which was originally written for children, sparked the imagination of adult fans everywhere. Now that a fashion-forward form of appreciation for female fans is on the market, I expect it will be well received. Today is the day the collection becomes available, and I just hope there will be enough to go around.
The previews of the pieces show bright colors and vivid prints in Black Milk’s usual skin tight styles. All your favorite characters are represented: Finn, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, Lumpy Space Princes, Ice King, Marceline, BMO, Gunter, Lady and even the Wolf Pack. Included in the collection are dresses, tops, skirts and leggings. The line is -- dare I say it -- mathematical!
