Vintage Peanuts

Hollywood is all abuzz on the new launch of Vintage Peanuts apparel line by JEM Sportswear's Awake division. The look of the cutesy tee's are based on your favorite Peanuts comic strip from 1962-1968 and feature your favorite characters including Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Peppermint Patty and Woodstock in the most popular styles and colors. Their retro appeal has a lot to do with fabric, color, vintage graphics and has nostalgia of bringing these popular characters to mainstream hipness.

“The 1960s were a time of both turmoil and idealism, and the Peanuts characters were considered to be on the cutting edge,” said Jeannie Schulz, wife of the late Charles M. Schulz. “It was during this period that Snoopy first expressed his fantasies by chasing the Red Baron, Lucy began dispensing 5 cent advice, and Snoopy and Charlie Brown accompanied the astronauts into space on the Apollo X. The new Vintage Peanuts line captures a nostalgia for the distinct personality of that period.”

The shirts were unveiled at Kitson in Los Angeles, a hot spot for celebrities and fashionistas alike. Actress Lindy Newton was recently on hand to model the hip collection at Kitson saying, " “Everybody loves Peanuts—my friends were so envious that I got to wear these clothes first!” Newton says. “I love these shirts, because they’re totally adorable and totally cool at the same time.”

The shirts retail for $38-$58. The t-shirts are available for women at Kitson in Los Angeles, as well as Lord & Taylor and Nordstrom stores. http://www.shopkitson.com/
