Flights of Fancy

Feature by Rosamund West | 03 Jun 2009

There are many reasons to appreciate Flight of the Conchords: the songs; the David Bowie impressions; the arbitrary anti-Kiwi racism; the ongoing debate over Brett and Jemaine’s relative attractiveness and whether Kristen Schaal is just playing her own annoying self. At the centre of it all stands one thing and one thing alone: Brett’s frankly astonishing collection of wildlife-print jumpers. Where does he get them? How did he end up with such an impressive array? How can he afford them when they’re skint to the point of eating out of bins and he only has one shoe? So many questions. To celebrate the return of a true style icon, we present our own array of wildlife-themed apparel.
