London-based creative team In Return connected with [CGI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixar-collection) artist Alan Murray to create a luxury line of masks for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Donning high-fashion brands on the turtle's eye masks, this series represents a playful take on the turtle's usual apparel. The illustrations feature Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael wearing the most elite fashion labels, such as Burberry, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Versace.

The images are finished with CGI detailing to add a lifelike visual aesthetic.
