Nostalgic Celebratory Apparel

Lacoste and Disney Join to Celebrate 90 and 85 Years for Brands

— November 20, 2018 — Fashion
Iconic brands Lacoste and Disney come together for a collaborative project that celebrates the 90th anniversary of Mickey Mouse and the 85th anniversary of the Lacoste crocodile. The capsule is comprised of clothing selections in men's, women's, and kids' sizes. The main inspirations behind the special collection are the iconic characters of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse as they adorn the clothing, footwear, and leather options through nostalgic designs. Some highlighting details of the range include the use of embroidery, expert pique, and 3D printing to bring modern elements to the retro aesthetics.

The color palette includes hues of heather gray, navy blue, white, light pink, green, and pops of color including bright red and clear blue. The men's apparel centers around Mickey Mouse, the women's around Minnie Mouse, and the children's showcase both the characters. The leather goods include pieces such as tote bags, backpacks, wallets, purses, and pouches. The sneakers round out the entire celebratory capsule -- the shoes are constructed from canvas materials in a sleek white and decorated with the iconic characters.
