Stella McCartney and Disney have once again teamed up to create a collection that draws inspiration from the beloved film, Fantasia. This collaboration seamlessly combines fashion and fantasy, offering a range of playful and gender-neutral pieces that transport wearers to a world of illusion. Reflecting McCartney’s commitment to sustainability, the collection focuses on using sustainable materials and showcases her love for nature.
The collection, which is currently available for adults only, showcases elevated fashion pieces that pay homage to the transcendental beauty and iconic characters of Fantasia. Designs feature Mickey Mouse hand motifs and rare 1940s posters, utilizing limited-edition repurposed old-stock silks sourced from LVMH’s Nona Source. Knitwear pieces feature graphics of Mickey and the broomstick-man, paying tribute to the famous segment, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Other pieces depict scenery from The Pastoral Symphony. The night skies of Fantasia are reimagined with glittery bodycon knits that are PVC-free.
In addition to these stunning pieces, the collection includes fringed kaftans made from organic cotton towelling, showcasing washed-out prints inspired by the film’s centaurette. Dresses feature original warped and remixed Disney graphics, lending them a vintage and patched-together aesthetic. Utility shirts, boyfriend jeans, and a hoodie jacket are crafted from organic cotton denim with vintage-inspired washes and Mickey prints. Accessories also play a crucial role in the collection, with bucket hats, pool slides, sneakers, safari caps, and a wide range of bags. The standout piece is a black velvet hard-body shoulder bag shaped like Mickey’s head silhouette, adorned with a mixed-galvanic Frayme chain detail and an Alter Mat vegan leather strap. Other bags, such as the Falabella mini and shoulder bags, feature rainbow patches and crystal embellishments. Logo totes showcase a new black Mickey drawing print.
The Fantasia collection by Stella McCartney and Disney is a whimsical fusion of fashion and fantasy. Through wearable summer pieces, this unique collaboration brings to life the magic of the iconic animated film. McCartney’s commitment to ethical fashion and sustainability is evident in the use of repurposed materials throughout the collection. Fans of both Stella McCartney and Disney can now escape reality and immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Fantasia. Keep an eye out for the upcoming kids’ capsule collection, scheduled to launch this autumn.
