All the times fashion has been inspired by Disney From Disney characters' forays on the catwalk to celebrities' love for Disney fairy tales

Twenty-one-year-old Walter Elias Disney moved to Los Angeles in July 1923 to be closer to his older brother Roy and to make animated films. On 16 October 1923, the two founded Disney Brothers Cartoon Studios, unaware that this ambitious project, which would later become the Walt Disney Company, would grow into a multi-billion dollar enterprise that would branch out into production houses, mass media and amusement parks, shaping the childhood and pop culture of generations. The first successes that changed everything came through two of Disney's most beloved characters, Mickey Mouse and Snow White. On 18 November 1929, Steamboat Willie was released, a black-and-white animated film, the first with synchronised sound, whose protagonist was Mickey Mouse, a mouse "an icon of generosity and good humour" who travelled on a steamboat whistling a funny tune. in 1934, Disney began production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first animated film, which premiered in December 1937 and became the highest-grossing film of the time. Then came Fantasia, Bambi, Peter Pan, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, Tarzan and all the other animated films that are part of our lives. Whether you prefer Donald Duck to Mickey Mouse, Ariel to Elsa or Belle to Mulan, each of these characters has become part of our memories and has influenced our style, sometimes unconsciously. Admit it: would you ever have wanted Snow White's headband or Cinderella's crystal slippers? Stylists might have. Because the Disney world has often found its way into their collections and made their fashion shows special. From your cousin to Miuccia Prada, no one can escape the allure of Disney tales. Here are all the times fashion has been inspired by Disney.

Collaborations

Celebrities love the Disney universe. Some of them, such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Zendaya and Selena Gomez, owe the start of their careers to the US company, while for others cartoons are part of their childhood and culture. Whether you're a kid or an adult, Disneyland remains a must-see, a place to escape the pressures of the celebrity system and spend a few hours surrounded by fairytale rides and castles. Remember that photo from the early 2000s of Britney with bags full of stuffed animals and other gadgets? And when they're not out and about at amusement parks, they're eagerly awaiting Halloween to dress up as princesses and Minnies. A few examples? Kim Kardashian as Jasmine, Paris Hilton in a red polka dot dress and giant Minnie ears, Katy Perry as Snow White and Kylie Jenner as Ariel. For the 2019 Met Gala, Zendaya went one step further and showed up on the red carpet dressed as the perfect Cinderella, complete with Law Roach as her fairy godmother. However, the item of clothing that celebrities love to wear the most is the Mickey Mouse t-shirt. It's a real statement piece, almost as much as the Star Spangled Banner. Over the years, almost everyone has worn it, from John Lennon to Michael Jackson, from Pat Cleveland to Kate Moss, from Miley Cyrus to Margot Robbie, from Rihanna to Gigi Hadid.
