(Wild & Lethal Trash) Collection.  This intergalactic creature is from an alien planet Dork, home of rubber volcanoes and florid flowers.  Puk Puk beams down to Earth each day to spread the W & L.T. upbeat and positive message 'Get Connected' and 'Kiss the future'. \r\n\r\nVan Beirendonck graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts, Antwerp in 1993 and has rapidly become a trend setter in men's fashion.  He is interested in toys, computers and new media which he translates into fashion using a combination of strong graphics and a wry sense of humour.","physicalDescription":"Heat transfer printed synthetic silk scarf depicting well known cartoon character Puk Puk from Walter Van Beirendonck's W&LT (Wild & Lethal Trash) Collection.
