This whole idea about having a fashion line inspired by cartoon characters is a different league altogether. It's a mania that's yet to pick momentum in India but is already a multi-million dollar business abroad. The fashion here isn't about being glamorous. Instead, it's about blending two words - geek and charm together. There's a completely different fan base for it and you need to be crazy enough to understand its rage.
But on a lighter note, there's no harm in going with the flow and picking merchandise for the sake of it. In the end, it's all about enjoying - character or fashion should be your choice.
