Nickelodeon's iconic '90s animated series Hey Arnold! have often wondered what exactly the titular Arnold was always wearing. No it wasn’t a skirt or kilt, it was just a shirt.
When the creator of the series, Craig Bartlett, designed Arnold with his shirttails out he didn’t realize how fashion-forward that was going to be. “I thought it was a very timeless look,” he told Den of Geek US.
Bartlett explains that growing up in the home of the grunge style, Seattle, some of Arnold’s look came from Neil Young. “Neil wore flannels and layers forever, and I don’t know why," he says. "Neil Young comes from, Alberta, Canada but somehow it translated to the Seattle scene perfectly. Everybody looked like a Neil Young Junior when the grunge movement was happening. That was the look. We wore layers and flannels, because it was cold and wet in Seattle. It was based on the way I dressed.”
Bartlett is very happy for Arnold, calling him, “quite a trendsetter. Way more than I was. Somehow on Hey Arnold! all those characters are way cooler than we were. I’ll defer to Arnold. He’s the man.”
