Only one mouse can pull off the full red-with-white-polka-dot dress — that, of course, is Minnie Mouse.
This fashion diva is known to have more than 200 outfits in her closet, everything from formal evening wear to a cheerleader costume — plus the matching shoes and bows.
So it is no wonder that a number of international designers will create some “Minnie Mouse Must Haves,” one-off garments and accessories, to be unveiled at London Fashion Week and auctioned together with eBay to support the BFC/Bazaar Fashion Arts Foundation, according to Disney.
Renowned designers including Giles, Michael van der Ham, Richard Nicoll, Piers Atkinson, Bunney, Husam el Odeh in collaboration with Luke Hersheson, Katie Hillier, Lulu Guinness, Tatty Devine and Terry de Havilland will interpret her signature bows and trademark polka dots, according to a news release.
“Minnie Mouse and her unique style continue to inspire fans across the world,” said Marc Low, vice president of Fashion and Home for The Walt Disney Company EMEA. “London Fashion Week is the perfect stage for Disney, one of the world’s largest apparel brands, to put a spotlight on Minnie Mouse.”
The “Minnie Mouse Must Haves” will be showcased to international buyers and media at London Fashion Week and then will be available at an exclusive auction on eBay. The proceeds from the auction will be donated by Disney to support the BFC/Bazaar Fashion Arts Foundation, a British Fashion Council initiative to nurture relationships between the creative industries and maintain a reputation for fashion innovation
