Our beloved LA label Junk Food has bought out a brilliant new range of tees inspired by the Muppets!

Cute and quirky with songs to match, they've been responsible for over three decades of children's entertainment that isn't just for kids.

Starring the likes of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Rowlf the Dog, The Muppet band and Dr. Teeth & the Electric Mayhem, their mix of sophisticated puppetry and music can't help but make you smile and Junk Foods fun and funky designs are the perfect tribute.

It’s been an exciting week here at Truffle Towers, mainly thanks to the long awaited launch of our brand new, official and exclusive range of Labyrinth T-shirts. It’s something we’ve wanted to be able to represent on the site for what feels like years so getting the opportunity to work closely with the amazing Jim Henson Company to create our very own tribute range has been totally awesome in every way.

We started with David Bowie and his genius turn as the Goblin King Jareth and we were of course inspired by his outrageous fashion (those skin tight leggings made a particularly big impression…) and the ultra catchy song from the film (Dance Magic Dance!). After playing with lots of ideas, we plumped for a really cool flyer style design for what would clearly be the coolest club night in the world! Check it out below….

We also had to feature Ludo, the bumbling best friend we wish we all had, and of course that cute cheeky worm who was always around to say “Ello!”

Although we knew you guys loved the worm as much as we did, even we were surprised by just how much – this design pretty much sold out after 24 hours on the site and has even been snapped up by the fabulous Una Healy from The Saturdays who even tweeted a pic of her wearing it!
