Yesterday in Jenner-land, something very important happened: Kylie Jenner wore the can't-be-seen-dead-in-it-mate brand Von Dutch, and we all but headed out into the garden to dig out our trucker hats on the spot. Why? Because she looked so darn good in it, and maybe, actually, we did too. Or maybe we didn't, but we believe in giving everything a second go, just to make sure.
While we were letting our Von Dutch clobber collect dust in the back of our wardrobes waiting for a day like this, one brave individual continued to fly the flag: Dennis Rodman, who still seems to be surgically attached to his vast and varied VD hat collection. Is Kylie on to something? Has Dennis been onto it this whole time?
If you didn't own a Von Dutch trucker cap at some point in the early noughties, you definitely asked for one for Christmas. Paired with about four inches of Juicy Tube lip gloss, it was the playground's must-have accessory.
So how did the LA brand make it over to rainy old Blighty? MTV, of course! Von Dutch was a staple in our American junk TV diet: Nicole in The Simple Life, Ashton on Punk'd and Britney Spears in every TV interview she attended. Whether you're still petitioning to have the brand banned or you're considering taking up the mantle, don't lift a finger before you've devoured our gallery of all the finest Von Dutch celebrity moments caught on camera.
Von Dutch for the win!
2004 Britney here. Not sure what's more offensive, the T-shirt or the cap? We'd quite like both.

Hello Halle! It's 2005 calling – can you see us from behind your lilac shades? Remember when a faux American high school soccer jersey was all one could hope for? We miss those days.

And, sashay. It's 2003 and these pink leather chaps look darling on Hilary Duff. The notion that low rise trousers are on their way back in is a chilling concept.

It's just Justin... in a denim Von Dutch cap and iced-out 'JT' chain. Wooooh. Pictured here at the 45th Annual GRAMMY Awards.

Nicole and Paris starring in The Simple Life which was, on paper, an in-depth look at how the super-wealthy might realise that material objects are less valuable than personal relationships when forced to work 9-5 jobs and hand over Daddy's credit cards. What happened instead was the two reeked havoc everywhere they went. Genius.
