Cactus Plant Flea Market (CPFM) has the secret sauce.
You might say the streetwear brand—founded almost a decade ago by Pharrell's former assistant, Cynthia Lu—is the Krusty Krab of the fashion world, since she sits comfortably on a seemingly simple yet impossible to replicate recipe for success.
Lost? You're clearly not a SpongeBob stan, meaning CPFM's next collab is not for you. But for those fond of some nautical nonsense, here's a whopper—or rather, a Krabby Patty—of a collection: Cactus Plant Flea Market x SpongeBob SquarePants x Uniqlo.
A tripartite limited-edition line which celebrates 25 years of the Nickelodeon show, infused with Flea Market's coveted flavours.
As if the porous yellow fella and his friends aren't absurd enough—he lives, with his pet snail, Gary, in a pineapple under the sea, lest we forget—Lu has shooed the unlikely gang further into the abstract for the project, resulting in a few more eyes and some uncanny facial expressions.
The American designer also has fun referencing fan-favourite moments. For example, one tee is an ode to “Tea at the Treedome”, one of the first-ever SpongeBob episodes in which Spongebob refuses to admit he's drying out in Sandy's dome.
Silly—yes. And fun! Silly fun we can all afford—which is arguably half the reason it's fun, because this is a Uniqlo collab available in Uniqlo stores (and on the retailer's website) for Uniqlo prices.
I'mmmmm ready! Are you?
The SpongeBob SqaurePants x Cactus Plant Flea Market x Uniqlo collaborative collection arrives on Friday 13 December in-store and online.
