With their classic riff on preppy and sportswear style, Tommy Hilfiger remains a constant presence in our closets. Their take on the iconic blue, red, and white will never fail to complement a look. But as if it couldn’t get any better, the American fashion label decided to give us a collection that was taken straight from our childhood dreams as they partnered with Disney to present a collection of prep classics. Oh, and did we also mention that it’s in a style of a manga twist? Yeah, they did that.
DISNEY X TOMMY
Disney is currently celebrating their 100th anniversary, and as part of the festivities, the house of Mickey Mouse and Tommy Hilfiger teamed up for the first time to have Mickey and friends enter the wondrous world of college prep, appearing on Tommy Hilfiger archival classics in a recently launched global collection. And in a nice twist, beloved characters such as Mickey, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck will be drawn in manga, giving this classic collab a unique look.
“An iconic anniversary, an iconic brand, and a collaboration with their most iconic characters – there is no better way to join fans around the world in celebrating Disney’s 100th anniversary’,” said Tommy Hilfiger. “Colliding Mickey and Friends with the TOMMY HILFIGER brand DNA has been one of our most fun collaborations to date. It’s a collectible edition of our favorite prep classics.”
Added Tasia Filippatos, President, Disney Consumer Products, Games and Publishing, “Disney and TOMMY HILFIGER are two beloved brands that have impacted culture on a global scale. The Disney x Tommy collection is a true celebration of Disney’s 100th anniversary and showcases the creativity and storytelling that both Disney and TOMMY HILFIGER are known for.”
Bringing to life this collection of styles for men, women, and kids is a campaign shot by Paola Kudacki that features singer-songwriter Henry Lau, actor Lucien Laviscount, and models Soo Joo Park, Stella Maxwell, and Reign Judge. Combining the preppy feel of Tommy Hilfiger and the magical touch of Disney, the digital fashion show had them wearing playful pieces as they made their way through an unmistakably Disney campus façade that we very much wanted to enroll at.
MAGICAL PREPPINESS
These two icons coming together delivered a collection that reimagines signature prep classics with playful patterns and prints, making for looks that would fit right at home on the campus hallways or the streets of Disneyland. Designed with careful craftsmanship and thoughtful details, the collection includes a wardrobe-filling 50 styles across menswear and womenswear, and 10 styles for kidswear, all of which pay homage to Mickey’s fun-love nature.
As told through a Disney manga makeover, prepare your eyes for playful takes on the rugby shirt, chinos and blazer, including jacquard prints of a reinvented TH Monogram and Micky’s unmistakable silhouette. If you ever wanted to know what a day in the life of Manga Mickey would look like, the Tommy x Disney collab answers that by showing him frolicking through the signature Ithaca stripe on shirts and shirt dresses. Pieces of the collection also harken to Disney’s storied history and the original craft of Disney artists with all-over prints featuring ink blots and hand-drawn sketches. Other standouts include a cricket jersey and woven jumper, which is brought to life by a Minnie Mouse polka dot.
