Fashion trends come and go, but style is forever. The question is: are you stylish enough to pull off these bizarre Teletubby boots from high-end designer Christian Cowan's latest range?

The unique shoes feature a knee-high style in bright neon green, with the one and only Dipsy from the 1997 show Teletubbies featured on the knee. "Eh oh!", we hear you cry. Well, you'll certainly be saying that when you learn the price tag - they retail for a whopping £2,096.

If you've ever fancied walking around with Dipsy on your lower leg, now is your chance - but if you were more a fan of Tinky Winky, Laa-Laa, or Po, you're out of luck. Luckily, there are other garments to choose from featuring the rest of the squad.

The whole nostalgic collection is a homage to Dipsy and the iconic 90s show, as other Teletubbies feature in the photo shoot.

British designer Christian Cowan - currently based in New York - unveiled the new boots on his Instagram.

Cowan's post reads: "The collab you didn't know you needed... Teletubbies x Christian Cowan has dropped. Link in Bio to be gagged.

"When deciding what our next collaboration would be, we were throwing around lots of pop culture icons, and then it struck us, let's do THE icons.

"We treated Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po, and Tinky-Winky like the legends they are, shot in an Avdeon-esque style, the garments tell the story of our four legendary characters, who have come to step on everyone's necks and have autographed these pieces for their adoring fans."

Alongside the boots, the collection also features trousers, jackets, t-shirts, and hoodies - all also with eye-watering price tags - but they're coined as "elevated essentials."

In the comments, Paris Hilton waded in saying: "Need!"

Someone else wrote: "Didn't know I needed these until now."

Others weren't as impressed though, leaving comments saying we were living in a "clown world."

"Love this, but I'm loyal to my boy Po!", someone joked.
