It’s just crazy how much we love that monkey.
Julius, the chimp who graces many of Paul Frank’s hip T-shirts, pajamas, purses and lingerie, is so cute, so whimsical, so chimpy. Sure, after a few years of seeing the simian everywhere, you’d think we’d tire of him, but the monkey has staying power.
Julius, though a major part of Paul Frank, isn’t only what the company’s about. For example, the men’s fall line features tailored shapes and slim cuts evocative of the stuff indie rockers scoop up at thrift stores. Only newer. And not so smelly.
For women, look for nylon camouflage print jackets, vinyl applique belts that state “Single” and cool, colorful V-neck sweaters.
As for Julius, look for him on green vinyl handbags, 220-thread-count sheet sets, Pro-Keds sneakers and fundie (fun underwear) sets.
Paul Frank clothing is available at Nordstrom and The Paul Frank Store, 851 W. Armitage Ave.
