Minnie Mouse poses in Lanvin for Barneys Christmas campaign ‘Electric Holiday’. The New York based store has teamed up with Disney to put a fashionable spin on the festival season with characters such as Minnie Mouse, Cruella de Vil and Goofy dressed head-to-toe in our favourite designer gear.
Designers taking part in the campaign include Dolce & Gabbana who are dressing Daisy Duck, Balenciaga who are dressing Mickey, Nina Ricci for Snow White and Balmain for Goofy; a high-end fashion makeover many people would die for.
Dennis Freedman, Barneys creative director, said: “The important thing to me was always that it had to be authentic. It really had to hit the nail on the head in every detail. This is a lot of fun.”
Freedman also admitted that last year’s Lady Gaga Christmas grotto was a hard act to follow.
The characters will appear as still images alongside a short film focussing on Minnie Mouse’s dream of being in the front row at a fashion show with her designs being modelled on the catwalk by her Disney counterparts.
This collaboration is one of many for Disney this year as they have partnered with Harrods for a Christmas display as well as Minnie acting as a muse for a range of different London Fashion Week designers. This campaign is a perfect way to end a very fashionable year for Disney.
The campaign will launch on November 14th with a three-dimensional light show to pay tribute to the famous electric parades.
