Crazy cat lady who loves afternoon tea, kawaii Japanese fashion, and all things Sanrio.

For the most part, anything that’s Hello Kitty-related is pink and girly with a child-like innocence. But for the big girls who have grown out of that cutesy vibe, alternative fashion brand Dolls Kill has come up with a new Hello Kitty collection that’s heavy on the grunge. No pink, plenty of black, and it’s super badass.

Blending Japanese punk and street fashion with a sprinkle of kawaii, this eclectic line is perfect for ladies with a darker edge - and it ships to Singapore too.

The first thing that caught our eye was the pleather Rebel Grl Moto Jacket ($124.72), which has graffiti-style wordings and a punk-ish illustration of Hello Kitty on the back. Oh, and lots and lots of pockets too.

We’re also loving the Out Of Pocket Princess Mini Dress ($106.30). With Hello Kitty’s ears peeking out from the bust and a puffy tulle skirt, this is befitting of rock chick royalty.

If you want a splash of colour and are daring enough, go for the kooky Guilty As Charmed Clear Pinafore ($124.72), which you can pair with a leotard or plain tee with skirt. It’s an unconventional choice that’ll make heads turn, but all you need is some unapologetic confidence to pull off this Harajuku-esque piece.

Bonus: Since it's made of plastic, it won’t get soaked in rainy weather.

Other colourful pieces include the Pixel City Flare Pants (now $67.46, U.P. $96.37) and Midnight City Mesh Top (now $31.75, U.P. $39.68). Emblazoned with graphics of city lights - some in the shape of our favourite kitty character - these remind us of the bustling streets of Tokyo.

Alternatively, let your feet do the talking with the Pixel City Platform Boots ($181.41).

If you prefer to stay on the safer side of things, there’s always the Rebel Grl Oversized Tee ($49.60). The large cutting makes it comfy enough for lounging around in at home, but dress it up with some boots, stockings, and accessories and you’ve got a casual going-out getup.

Speaking of accessories, keep to the theme with the Cupcake Chaos Bow Beret ($28.35) and Rebel Grl Shagadelic Weekender ($92.12). The latter is roomy, making it suitable as carry-on baggage for your overseas trips. And if you’re jetting off to a cold country, you’ll want to pack along the Best Fiends Thermal Top ($39.68) and Undies ($25.51).

For quick trips out of the house, the Proper Punk Crossbody Bag ($49.60) will prove to be useful, giving you just enough space for your phone, cash, and keys.

Hello Kitty ain’t your fave? There are other classic characters that are part of this tie-up, like Badtz-Maru and Keroppi, which make an appearance in the High Tech Wreck Graphic Tee ($53.86) and Rough Ribbit Keroppi Tee ($53.86) respectively.
