Disney Electric Holiday



starring Minnie Mouse dressed in Lanvin & Alber Elbaz…!

In mid-March, six Barneys New York executives traveled out West for a fun day at Disneyland. The group — including chief executive officer Mark Lee, creative director Dennis Freedman and senior vice president Charlotte Blechman, as well as executives from communications and visual — toured Walt Disney’s apartment and went on rides like It’s a Small World, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain and Captain EO.
For this season they season Barneys decided to collaborate with Disney and create the a campaign for the holiday windows and they named it "Electric Holiday".

The theme is a riff on Disney’s famous electrical parade, as well as the special lighting installations so central to the New York holiday season and the flashbulbs of fashion runways.
Barneys worked really closely with Disney for the to create a masterpiece that is as much real as the world of fashion. The character included were dressed by famous designers 







Mickey is dressed by Nicolas Ghesquière for Balenciaga, 
Minnie by Alber Elbaz for Lanvin, 
Goofy by Olivier Rousteing for Balmain, 
Daisy by Dolce & Gabbana, 
Cruella by Rick Owens, 
Princess Tiana by Proenza Schouler 
and Snow White by Peter Copping for Nina Ricci. 

What makes it even more special, the characters were adjusted to be
5 foot 11 to be seen as real models.

Fashion seems to be high on Disney’s agenda these days. For a different project, the company recently tapped several London designers, including Giles Deacon, Michael van der Ham and Richard Nicoll, to celebrate Minnie Mouse’s status as a cartoon fashion plate, and Meadham Kirchhoff will unveil a Minnie Mouse collaboration during its spring 2013 show. Proceeds of sales of the project’s items will go to the British Fashion Council/Bazaar Fashion Arts Foundation.
As for Barneys, They are offering limited edition items that you can also find on their website.


This collaboration is like one of my dreams come true Disney and Fashion combined together...Nothing ca get better than this.

Its show time
