If you heard a loud and kind of squishy sound just now, that was my head exploding. My love for fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi collided with my loathing of the chubby plushies known as the Teletubbies when I learned that Mizrahi will be designing five Tubbie-themed purses in celebration of their tenth anniversary (has it been that long? It seems longer).
Mizrahi is only one of the big guns that Ragdoll Entertainment is packing in anticipation of a huge relaunch of the Teletubbies brand: they've also got apparel lines in the works to be aimed at tweens, teens, and young adults (dear God in heaven, please tell me this doesn't mean that people are going to start throwing raves again).
The Mizrahi bags will be auctioned off to benefit Cure Autism Now and Autism Speaks. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go curl up with my Isaac For Target cashmere sweater and my clearance-rack-at-Saks Isaac driving shoes and watch Unzipped until my head feels better.
