House of Mouse: Disney Fashion

From playful to powerful, character identification can be potent. The desire to emulate a favorite character, and loyal fandom propel very lucrative merchandising.
The mouse ears has tapped that goldmine .

The latest collection from Kenzo highlights that House of Mouse is king. Kenzo's collaborative collection with Disney was shown in both Paris and on Main Street at Disneyland Anaheim. 


Kenzo mastered the mouse with a fun colorful collection that reaches far beyond theme park sweatshirts and t-shirts. Clearly the  statement of "Happiest place on Earth" resinates here.




But Mouse merchandising success doesn't end with Kenzo. In 2014 Disney reported sales for the girl's Elsa dress from its hit movie "Frozen" topped 3 million in just North America alone. The dress still continues to be a best seller. In case you are looking, Saks Fifth Ave sells the high end Elsa premiere dress for $79.99.


If the obsession with the Frozen fandom continues into adulthood, Alfred Angelo has collaborated with Disney for princess character inspired wedding dresses. Starting here with the Elsa wedding dress. 






No matter which Disney princess a  future bride wishes to be, a wedding dress has been created for that character.




In the haberdashery department, from bridal ears to studded and knitted ears the House of Mouse has looks for everyone.  



Not in the mood to wear Mouse ears? Pick a character to suit your mood. From the Mad Hatter to Goofy, Disney has your head covered.

If you happen to be vacationing  at the Aulani Disney resort in Hawaii, you will can be dressed Disney smart when dipping your toes in the pool.
