Inspired by nostalgia, it is no surprise that Lazy Oaf has launched collections that feature the most iconic cartoon characters. This year, the London-based clothing brand is releasing a collection starring, the one and only, Betty Boop. It seems like the original pin-up girl is making a huge comeback as Moschino also featured her in its SS18 Menswear and Women’s Resort Collection.

Lazy Oaf announced their collaboration in an Instagram post, showcasing a white denim jacket and matching pants that were decorated with red hearts and heart-framed Bettys, finishing the outfit with a bright red beret. From the photo alone, we’re getting 80s retro vibes, perhaps because of the classic red-tones and the air of jazz and old Hollywood that the old cartoon character carries along.
Created by Max Fleischer and having debuted as an actual cartoon dog in 1930, Betty Boop has come a long way since her dog days and has become instantly recognisable pop culture icon. It has been 30 years since her last film appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit so we’re so excited to be able to reconnect with Betty, thanks to this Lazy Oaf collection!
We predict a simple but bold collection with lots of hearts, kisses and reds – symbols of Betty’s sex appeal and the colour of her iconic strapless dress. Whatever it is, if you love anything throwback, classic or fun, this is definitely the collection to check out. Boop-oop-a-doop over to Lazy Oaf’s London Flagship store, New York’s American Two Shot or, if you can’t fly to these cities in time, just head on to Lazy Oaf’s website to order the pieces online.
The Betty Boop Collection will be available online at Lazy Oaf, from 25 January.
