MiniMe Paris Ties Up With Disneyland Paris on Capsule Line

MICKEY, MINNIE & ME: French designer Marie Marquet, founder of the two-year-old MiniMe Paris label, has tied up with Disneyland Paris to create a capsule collection for the amusement park’s 25th anniversary this year. Marquet has put her whimsical stamp on a range of nine items inspired by iconic Disney references and characters for the occasion. “The world of Disney has been an inspiration for me since I was really small,” said Marquet at a launch event Wednesday morning at Colette, where the collection is selling exclusively during Paris Fashion Week before being launched in stores at Disneyland Paris mid-March. The collection includes three fun headbands – the park’s iconic Minnie-ears headband is reinterpreted to feature the heads of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, for example – two felt hats, three T-shirts and a sweatshirt. As well as Mickey and Minnie, inspiration comes from characters like Alice and Tinkerbell as well as Disney’s unmistakable enchanted castle logo. Marquet also created an illustrated gift box shaped like a book for the occasion.
