STYLE Edit: Gucci teams up with Disney for Mickey Mouse bags to mark icon’s 90th anniversary
Catwalk models carry handbags created to look like the head of the cartoon character during the Italian fashion brand’s spring/summer 2019 show in Paris
Italian luxury brand Gucci’s spring/summer 2019 collection featured a collaboration with Walt Disney in celebration of its cartoon character Mickey Mouse’s 90th anniversary.
This year marks 90 years since the global icon has been in our hearts and minds, following Mickey’s first appearance in the 1928 short animated film, Steamboat Willie.
Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele introduced handbags shaped like Mickey Mouse’s head on the runway of theatre-turned-nightclub, Le Palace, in Paris.
The pop-culture reference featured the iconic Disney ears with the bag’s handle placed across them.
This is not the first time Michele has featured Disney characters in his collections.
