When it comes to fashion, we are all inspired by what we see. Whether it is a well-dressed celebrity, a blow-your-mind catwalk presentation or even a super stylish every-day passerby. Anything could be an inspiration. A painting, nature, plants, colours, surfaces flags, celebrities, TV shows and... funny cartoons. I am a massive Disney movies' fan. My sister and I grew up with Ariel, Aladdin, Lumiere, Hercules, and all the other characters singing along their popular songs and getting excited about their stories. Today, I want to spotlight some Disney's fashion collaborations because you don't have to be in the happiest place on earth to feel like a kid again.
Mickey Mouse is one of my earliest memories of American pop culture - his nostalgic charm, cheekiness, individuality and inherent cooless grant for the ultimate American icon, I've always seen Mickey as a playful rebel at heart and a timeless symbol of joy and creativity. Fashion embraced Disney in a big way. Kenzo announced its Jungle Book-inspired line, featuring typically brightly rendered close-ups of Shere Khan. Gucci debuted a short-sleeved sweater top in geek chic pastel featuring Donald Duck. Coach teamed up with the corporation to create a limited-edition line of handbags and sportswear featuring their most iconic characters. Vans, Marc Jacobs and Uniqlo would be some other popular collaborations. It's true that our obsession with repurposing elements from our childhood is ever evident; from our love with vintage clothes and Hollywood's obsession with remakes to gif-filled listicles. But the line between adult infantilisation and dreamy nostalgia is a fine one. When Kate Moss or Azealia Banks in the 212 video wore vintage Mickey Mouse apparel it definitely did.
In this post I am the one wearing one of the pieces. A Mickey Mouse fun print sweater worn with black skinny jeans and a leather biker. I chose the mustard shoes matching the jumper, giving some colour to the outfit. The black hat and the bandana falling from the waist, complete the casual look that I was after.
