When Micky Mouse met Gucci
High fashion brands have been doing fun pop-culture collabs for a while now, but newer collections take it all a notch higher
Be it beloved anime cats Doraemon and Banyana or characters from American cartoons like Disney, Sesame Street and The Loony Tunes, they have all had a brush with high fashion through collaborations and limited edition crossovers. Wanting to flaunt your favourite pop-culture characters on your clothes and tired of frumpy, ill-fitting T-shirts from the comic book store? We've got you covered.
Here are a few of the ways in which global high-fashion brands have gone pop and playful:
1. Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2021 Airplane Bag
