'Fashion is Nuts' plays off of the crazy personalities in the fashion world and recreates the beloved influencers using walnuts. Creator Drue Robertson says, "Many people have come to view the fashion world as elitist, and unapproachable, but what everyone seems to forget is… Fashion is nuts! Whether it’s Edie Campbell dressed in nothing but body paint and a headdress, or Iris Apfel sitting front row wearing her signature glasses and dressed in red fur, fashion is, and has always been wondrously mad."
The reflection of this madness is turned into caricatures of the likes of Coco Chanel (the Coconut), Karl Lagerfeld (the Über Nut) and Kanye West (the "I am a Nut!"). The adorable mini-nuts are released just in time for New York Fashion Week, reminding us of just how nuts this industry is.
