Disney, the renowned film studio, is celebrating its 100th anniversary in a grand manner by collaborating with luxury fashion brand Givenchy. This collaboration not only honors Disney’s extraordinary milestone but also coincides with the Lunar New Year celebrations.
As a tribute to 100 years of Disney magic, Givenchy has breathed life into Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, a character created by Walt Disney and his team in 1927. Oswald holds a significant place in Disney’s history as the first-ever character created by the studio, paving the way for the iconic Mickey Mouse.
Givenchy’s creative director, Matthew Williams, worked closely with Disney to create an exceptional collection that seamlessly blends Oswald’s spirit with Givenchy’s signature style. The result is the captivating Disney X Givenchy capsule collection, featuring stunning statement pieces for both men and women.
The women’s collection boasts standout items such as a blue varsity jacket with white sleeves adorned with Givenchy and Paris lettering. The jacket showcases Oswald presenting a flower to his sweetheart, Ortensia. Another eye-catching piece is a vibrant red oversized shirt paired with sporty shorts, featuring Oswald riding a horse amidst a bandana-style print.
Denim pieces in the collection feature graffiti-inspired artwork of Oswald and Ortensia, with multicolored motifs adorning a jean jacket and jeans. The women’s collection is completed with t-shirts in various colors, carrying messages of love and Paris, as well as hoodies, tanks, and track pants featuring the heart-shaped 4G emblem and the Magic Kingdom logo.
The men’s collection presents a striking red varsity jacket with Oswald riding a bronco towards Los Angeles, alongside a blue button-down shirt featuring Oswald amidst bandana-style motifs. Notable denim pieces showcase Oswald with a lucky horseshoe in red, while t-shirts with Givenchy lettering bring words and places like “Lucky” (featuring Oswald on a motorcycle) and “New York City” to life. Sweatshirts and track ensembles add further options for men.
Beyond clothing, the Disney X Givenchy capsule collection extends to a wide range of collectible accessories. Fans can complete their ensemble with coveted items such as Disney x Givenchy tennis shoes, totes, small cross-body bags, card carriers, phone cases, earbud cases, and caps.
To bring the collection to life, a captivating short video campaign was created in collaboration with Walt Disney Animation Studios and art director/photographer Julian Klincewicz. The campaign showcases Oswald’s “world tour” and adds an extra layer of magic to the collection.
The Disney x Givenchy capsule collection will first be available in China, Singapore, and the Tokyo Ikebukuro pop-up starting from December 16. Subsequently, the Miami Aventura pop-up will open on December 19. Finally, the collection will be globally accessible from December 30, both in stores and on givenchy.com. This offers fashion and Disney enthusiasts worldwide the opportunity to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary with these exclusive and remarkable pieces from Givenchy.
