The ASOS x Hello Kitty collab is the trip down memory lane you need
It’s giving me all the feels
It’s giving me all the feels
Remember when you were a kid and obsessed with Hello Kitty? The Japanese character - which FYI is not a cat but a British school kid (I know, pretty devastating) - was the cool thing to have at school, whether it was on a lunch box, backpack or t-shirt.
As a grown up, those days are quite possibly behind you, but ASOS has just brought back Hello Kitty in a totally wearable way, and I’m loving it.
The collection, which launches today, comprises of street-wear inspired pieces, and preppy classics, mixed in with a little bit of kitsch. Because Kawaii.
There are cool sweatshirts and hoodies which can be worn with ripped jeans or a pleated skirt with kitten heels for a more polished look, and chic Breton tops with a miniature Kitty on the chest, best worn with straight jeans and biker boots.
For those nights out, there is a pair of incred heels with removable Hello Kitty badges in case you fancy a more paired down look.
