Forget Mickey Mouse. When I was a wee boy, I thought Babar the Elephant was the bigger star. Babar’s story is totally worthy of a biopic: He loses his mother, moves to the big city, then rocks a green three-piece suit like no other four-legged creature. Mickey—he couldn’t even put a shirt on most of the time.
This year, the French elephant king celebrates his 80th anniversary! And what better way to honor the style-packing pachyderm than with a capsule collection. Using vintage illustrations by creator Jean de Brunhoff, Danish menswear label Soulland brings Babar to a bunch of summer-ready button-downs, T-shirts, shorts, and a sweatshirt. On them you will find Babar at the tailor, cruising in a roadster, and in various states of boss-dom.
