Let's assume you all know Buddy Lee, here is his story again anyway:

And here on Wiki

Apart from being Lee's mascot, Buddy was probably most famous for wearing lots of different outfits and looking incredibly cute in them.


For the Buddy Lee Collection, Lee decided to blow up and exactly reproduce some of Buddy's outfits, allowing you to wear some of the stuff Buddy wore and resulting in incredibly crude but charming looking dolls garments for grown men...
Exaggerated details such as stitching and buttons galore of course, but they also went as far as blowing up the fabric, which to me was most noticeable in the chambray shirt.

Apparently this seems to be a Japan only line (o course, they always get all the cool stuff...), so apart from what my friends over at Tenue de Nimes could tell me about it, I have not been able to find any other info.
They have also been so kind to send me some pics of the stuff they managed to hunt down, to share on here.




I personally think it's a pretty cool idea and while it somewhat echo's the Levis RED collection that inspired the Type1 and Margiela's F/W 94-95 Doll's collection, it makes perfect sense for Lee with their Buddy Lee and all his little outfits to do such a thing.
I also think it's good to see Lee experimenting with some riskier stuff.

Here's hoping this is not just some one-off/one-season project but an actual line they'll continue doing for a bit.
