THE RODNIK BAND has teamed up with famed comic strip Peanuts on a playful fashion project. The British-based label delved into the artwork archives to design a capsule collection featuring Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the rest of the gang.
"The Peanuts office in the UK had been following Rodnik designs over the last couple of seasons, and they got in touch suggesting that it could be a fun idea to do something together," Colbert told us. "It was an amazing phone call! I have always loved Peanuts' comic strips - I would see them everywhere when I was growing up. They are such cute, varied philosophical characters and they have a profound sense of humour - it's amazingly light yet very deep."
The womenswear label, helmed by Philip Colbert, is renowned for its fun and often surreal sensibility - with plenty of bold colourful pieces covered in pop art prints. The new collaboration with Peanuts features ready-to-wear dresses and separates alongside sequin-adorned accessories.
"There is a fun synergy between The Rodnik Band and Peanuts - humour is something that works through each Rodnik collection and it felt like a natural fit to bring the Peanuts character into the Rodnik world," explained Colbert. "They are true icons of pop art and have survived from the Fifties through to now."
The Rodnik X Peanuts collection will land in selected stores in September, with prices ranging from £29 for a T-shirt to £300 for a sequin dress. Click through the gallery for an exclusive preview.
