Pero launches Autumn/Winter 2024 collection in collaboration with ‘Barbapapa’

Aneeth Arora’s fashion label Péro has launched its Autumn/Winter 2024 collection in partnership with ‘Barbapapa, the beloved children’s character, originally created in the 1970s by French authors Annette Tison and Talus Taylor.

Aptly titled ‘Hullabaloove, this playful collection brings the vibrant, abstract Barbapapa characters to life through imaginative garments designed for both men and women.

The collection showcases oversized jackets and coats adorned with various Barbapapa characters as tactile appliqués. The iconic cartoon eyes of the characters are also featured on hats and accessories, adding a playful charm to Péro's intricately handcrafted designs.

‘Barbapapa’ was originally created as a children’s book by Annette Tison and Talus Taylor in 1970. The concept was later adapted into a television series, which followed the adventures of the shape-shifting Barbapapa family and became a beloved show in multiple countries.

Founded by Aneeth Arora in 2008, Péro means ‘to wear’ in the Marwari language. The brand is widely available across India and internationally, retailing through both online and offline multi-brand platforms such as Vestiaire Collective, The Cross, and Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop.
