Explain

Do The Hop

Do The Hop.jpgHas everyone in fashion become obsessed with bunnies?


First, Kidrobot had designers like Heatherette and Alexander McQueen put their touches on their Dunny, at center above, the bunny-like action figure.

Then, Kym Canter at J. Mendel had everyone on the fashion planet pose with a stuffed model named Star Von Bunny, at right, ala the gnome in Amelie. Star has her own book deal.

Now, Beth Buccini and Sarah Easley of Kirna Zabête have created their own bunny, Miss KZ, who will be sold in stores and whom we can all catch up with on her very own MySpace page. Miss KZ will also have her own Fashion Week blog.

We’ve always been fans of the cute, fluffy hoppers (we even have a real one at home!) - but where did this bunny mania come from? Can anyone explain?

i feel a comeback of all things 1998.

remember when everything had little stuffed animals hanging off of them, and all of the furniture in your room was neon blow up?

or when you couldnt have just ONE stuffed animal backpack purse shaped like a frog/ladybug/lion. and they only had enough room to hold your keys, spare change, 8 kinds of lipgloss and maybe a picture of hanson/spice girls/backstreet boys? the only things an 8th grader needed.......

funny all three of those bands have new albums too! hahaha.

"Stella McCartney also made a bunny backpack for LeSportsac."

Stella also appropriated the Koons bunny on some jewelry a few seasons back.

I honestly had a stuffed animal just like the one on the far right when I was young - except it was royal purple and a bear, so the ears were different.
