Mr Porter creates festive episode of Mr Benn using some of the original 40 year old artwork
Mens fashion website Mr Porter has released a special festive episode of children’s classic Mr Benn, put together by all of the original Mr Benn team.
‘Mr Benn at Christmas’ uses some of the original 40 year old artwork and shows Mr Benn on the hunt for the perfect outfit for his office Christmas party.
The site revealed Mr Benn’s appointment as a brand ambassador was down to his “smart signature style, immense charm, good manners and an extraordinary sense of adventure. And, like us, his name is always preceded by the title "Mr”.”
Originally a book published in 1967, Mr Benn was created by David McKee with his animated bowler-hatted adventures – which always began through a magic door in the changing room of his local costume hire store – were recently voted the sixth most popular children’s TV programme in a Channel 4 poll.
