Take S/S 10… who DOESN'T want to try on a cloud/bumblebee knitted horse hat with horsehair sticking out of it… even if you object to head gear in general, who wouldn't want just a moment of laughs and larks with one of these hats on? I'd be severely frowning upon those that don't want to take just a second out of their lives for a 'silly hat moment'….
Then there's the backpacks… the inner child within me still resides and not even the slightly juxtaposed image of a buffed up, tanned dude wrestling with one of the backpacks is gonna put me off…
For Yang Du's A/W 10-11 collection 'Xmyheart', she took inspiration from Sunbury Antique Market at Kempton Racecourse where she bought herself some old toys that made way for the teddy bears, strawberries, doll-faces and giraffes on oversized knitted t-shirts. Pom pom chicken scarves and faux-fur monkey hats complete the trip through a particularly good toy car bootie.
Once again, I'm warning those that get a bit sniffy about 'cartoonish elements' to back off… the monkey inside me will get ya…
Holy crap I need one of those backpacks. Possible even more than a Giles fluffball/metallic dinosaur bag… Oh god now I can’t make my mind up!!

amazing backpacks! and the betty-boop-ish dress <3
I also have a dog mascot. I always wearing it when there are kids pass in front of my house. 😉
Ian J, androgyny works both ways (:
Thank you for the introduction to Yang Du. I remember being happily/helplessly shrill when I saw your first post on these cheeky surrealist knits.
Liz, agreed!
Ian J: Was gonna say… aren’t the models in the look book indication enough that Yang’s stuff can be worn by both men and women?
This stuff is great!
Isn’t that model from the Levis ad? Does she have agency?
Gah, I suddely have an urge to dye my hair frost blue & pink. I wonder if I could rock that at the office.
Or maybe I should settle for that pink zebra poncho. Love this stuff, so much fun!
oh god, it’s Ping…
i thought he’d disappeared
These are all so fun! I wish I hat the patience to sit and knit stuff like this–obvs it’s machine-knit.
man i love all these knits!
You guys are so cool!!! Love the third one and last one. Really really cute.
Hear hear!

I love the hair colour! It’s like a frosty blue. & those bags are awesome.
does anyone know the female model’s name?
and that hair is to die for!!
was that model in the recent levi’s campaign? was it even levis, the one all over the tube for a bit? well i agree with all the above commenters, her hair is amazing. but i wear my monki sweater constantly and the animals are the best things on there, would certainly be perfect for lecture wear
