The world’s most iconic animated family, THE SIMPSONS, gets ready to take on the runway with all new fashion collaborations as Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products and major fashion brands release unique new collections in 2014.  Fox Consumer Products announces today global trendsetting brands Drop Dead, Uniqlo and Eleven Paris are the next partners to release 2014 collections with THE SIMPSONS, joining Converse, Joyrich, A Bathing Ape and Threadless.

What started with a unique collaboration with Jeremy Scott for the Winter 2012 collection and a showcase at Fashion Week has inspired new partnerships that identify with the iconic nature of the brand, introducing culture-defining clothing for THE SIMPSONS to the next generation,” says Jeffrey Godsick, president of Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products. “This year, we are excited to introduce new fashion partners that combine high style and classic animation, keeping America’s favorite family in the hearts and on the shoulders of today’s trendsetters.”

Fashion label Drop Dead Clothing is partnering with THE SIMPSONS this spring to release a first-time boutique apparel collection featuring Itchy & Scratchy.  Japanese designer/retailer Uniqlo and ultra-contemporary French brand Eleven Paris are also releasing first-time collaborations beginning in the spring.

The first limited-edition collection with L.A.’s 90’s street aesthetic brand Joyrich sold out in pop-up shops all over Japan which led to a second line that hit stores worldwide January 2014 including varsity jackets, snapbacks and fanny packs. THE SIMPSONS has also recently introduced a global line with Japanese street style clothing company A Bathing Ape, which held preview collections and events beginning in Tokyo, followed by additional cities. More than 300 people were waiting in line for the Tokyo pop-up opening on Jan. 1, 2014, and within moments of the collection’s release, fashion bloggers and celebrities were spotted in the collection’s varsity jackets. 

THE SIMPSONS also partnered with artist-sourced graphic t-shirt company Threadless.  Fox and Threadless challenged artists around the globe to pay tribute to Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and everyone else who calls Springfield home. For the first time, fans designed a collection of officially licensed THE SIMPSONS merchandise.  From 832 submissions, 29 designs were chosen for THE SIMPSONS x Threadless t-shirt collection.
