The BLACKPINK x Disney capsule collection is a limited apparel release created in partnership with Disney and Complex. The BLACKPINK x Disney capsule collection introduces a series of streetwear garments that incorporate Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse imagery alongside BLACKPINK branding. The range includes graphic T-shirts, hoodies, crop tops, tank tops, and accessories designed around the group’s recognizable pink-and-black visual identity.
Designs reinterpret classic Disney characters using bold outlines, stylized typography, and graphics influenced by retro punk aesthetics. Pieces appear in colorways such as white, pink, charcoal, and black while maintaining familiar Disney character silhouettes across the garments. The lineup also includes accessories such as a tote bag and a cap, and purchases from the collection include collectible photo cards featuring members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, or Lisa.
