Two iconic cartoon franchises have come together for an epic collaboration to celebrate their impressive milestones this year; The Simpsons Hello Kitty collection is one for the history books. Taking the form of an incredibly covetable fashion line, Sanrio and Twentieth Century Fox has teamed up to create what could easily be construed as entirely new characters.
Utterly cute, The Simpsons Hello Kitty collection converts the former into the illustration style of the latter. Launching at the end of this month, the fashion line honors Sanrio’s 40th anniversary along with The Simpson’s 25th. Made up of eight pieces, The Simpsons Hello Kitty collection is set to debut during the Hello Kitty Con 2014 at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. It was designed by kawaii retailer JapanLA, to the delight of fans everywhere.
