Select Fashion Leaders to Reimagine Mickey Mouse as Part of Multi‑Year Initiative
Disney and Vogue announced a multi‑year creative partnership that will spotlight Disney Mickey Mouse through the lens of some of the world’s most dynamic fashion voices in the lead‑up to the 100th anniversary of Mickey Mouse.
As part of the initiative, designers are invited into Disney’s archives to explore Mickey Mouse across decades of design, using vintage silhouettes, graphics, and storytelling as inspiration for contemporary reinterpretations. Each designer will reinterpret Mickey Mouse through their distinct creative lens.
Vogue contributing editor Mark Holgate identified notable designers known for boundary-pushing aesthetics, cultural impact, and deep affinity for Disney Mickey & Friends, saying that, “The idea of bringing together Mickey Mouse, an enduring cultural figure known the world over, with designers from around the globe was thrilling — and a reminder that creativity is always at its best when there’s an openness to reimagining what we all already know and love.”
Ami Paris founder and creative director Alexandre Mattiussi brings a distinctly human warmth to the collaboration and will be the first to launch his collection in early 2027. “Working with Disney on the road to Mickey’s 100th anniversary feels both surreal and deeply personal. Growing up, Disney was a world of imagination, emotion, and timeless storytelling that shaped the way I see creativity today. To collaborate now, through Ami Paris, is a true honor, and a meaningful opportunity to connect that sense of wonder with our own vision of friendship, joy, and modern Parisian style. Mickey is more than a character, he is a universal symbol that transcends generations. Being part of this celebration is something I am incredibly proud of,” said Mattiussi.
Kicking off the countdown to Mickey Mouse’s 100th anniversary — a milestone moment to both honor his legacy and creative future — this new partnership underscores Disney’s commitment to evolving one of its most iconic characters through culture and fashion. Nearly a century after his debut, Mickey’s place across pop culture and fashion is firmly cemented, defined by a constant balance of heritage and reinvention that keeps him as relevant on the runway and the street today as ever.
“This new partnership celebrates Mickey Mouse as an enduring style icon, and we’re thrilled to partner with Vogue to explore his influence through a fashion-forward lens,” said Lisa Baldzicki, President of Disney Consumer Products. “We’re honoring Mickey Mouse’s legacy as a cultural symbol while inviting new interpretations that reflect how he continues to inspire creativity and style around the world.”
The announcement builds on Disney’s standout presence at Vogue World: Hollywood, where the brand’s lasting influence on film, fashion, and culture was celebrated through runway moments and celebrity appearances, a preview of the creative synergy now unfolding between Disney and Vogue.
For decades, Disney and Vogue have shaped culture through storytelling, artistry, and a shared ability to capture the imagination of global audiences. This collaboration represents an ongoing opportunity to celebrate Mickey Mouse as a timeless symbol of joy, creativity, and self‑expression and as a true pioneer in fashion whose influence continues to resonate on the world stage.
Through this multi‑year initiative, Disney will collaborate closely with each designer to bring their unique artistic perspective to the world of Mickey & Friends, unfolding through distinct collection drops and defining cultural moments. The program invites audiences to experience Mickey Mouse’s creative futurism through touchpoints that span products, experiences, and community — fostering meaningful cultural connections across key global markets. Vogue will serve as a creative consultant throughout, helping shape the cultural conversation around each launch while spotlighting the designers’ visionary interpretations.
The partnership launch was celebrated on April 23 at an intimate reception hosted at Canal in Notting Hill, London.
