Cartoon Chic. Popular 90s Characters Dressed To Kill For Fashion Week by Swagger and Michele Moricci.

Swagger New York teamed up with illustrator and designer Michele Moricci to create a fantasy fashion world consisting of pop culture cartoon characters clad in some of today's hippest fashions to honor the beginning of Mercedes Benz 2013 New York's Fashion Week.

This is not the first time we've seen cartoon characters in couture. In the August 2007 issue of Harper's Bazaar, The Simpsons posed in couture, we saw SHREK posing in a fashion editorial for Vman magazine and Elle Espana put Disney characters in famous design wear in April 2010.

Over a couple weeks, the collaboration resulted in the following six characters wearing specific designer’s A/W 2013 threads as they attend that very designer's show (e.g. Lisa Simpson is in Marc Jacobs for the Marc show).

SailorMoon in Rodarte

Daria in Prabal Gurung

Captain Planet in Hood By Air

Beavis and Butthead in Jeremy Scott

And the Bride Wore White - Barely. Kaviar Gauche Debuts G-String Wedding Gown Today in Berlin.

Now, here's a wedding gown that says "I Do" to pretty much everything. Alexandra Fischer-Röhler and Johanna Kühl of Berlin-based fashion label Kaviar Gauche presented this revealing wedding gown ensemble during Berlin Fashion Week earlier today.

The designer duo, shown below, who launched the brand in 2003, have been creating Bridal Couture since the inception of their label but this is by far the least traditional gown they have ever designed.

Now, if you wanted say... a church wedding, I recommend some of the other gowns in their collection, like those shown below.

Here's a video of the entire collection from today:

Snoopy Dons Designer Duds For Japan's Fashion Week, But It's Not The First Time.

For Tokyo Fashion Week and Snoopy's 60th Birthday year, designers displayed the plush pup clad in couture.

Snoopy will celebrate its 60th anniversary next year, 2010, and as a kick-off event to celebrate the anniversary, original costume designs for Snoopy by Japan Fashion Week participating designer, G.V.G.V. and global brands such as Chanel, Hermes, Balenciaga DVF, Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gaultier and Chloé were exhibited at Time & Style, Galleria 3F in Tokyo Midtown from October 22nd to 29th. The event was cosponsored by the Design Association NPO, United Media K.K.

Bloggers, facebookers, twitterers and online mags are going crazy sharing the images of CHANEL and Hermes-clad Snoopy, but this isn't new news, or even new designs. Apparently, Snoopy doesn't wear things just once.

What most people don't realize is these outfits for the beloved Peanuts® comics dog, Snoopy, and his sister, Belle, aren't new. In 2004 there was a large Snoopy In Fashion show in Japan where the CHANEL Snoopy and tons of others appeared. Even multiple books were published of the event, but are no longer in print.

While most bloggers got their five images of Snoopy and his sister Belle clad in luxe fashion, from the post WWD, they only had five. Here's more of them for you from this year's Japan fashion Week along with a bunch from the 2004 Snoopy In Fashion show (courtesy of webshots member kathysui).

The Snoopy in Fashion show then traveled all over sponsored by Met Life and appeared at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in NY in 2007.

Resurrected for Japan Fashion Week, here are some of the ones shown in Tokyo:
