MNC Disney encourages Chinese designers to integrate Mickey Mouse into their unique creations

Could cartoon character Mickey Mouse inspire a thousand Chinese fashion designs?

Through its Shanghai Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2018, which was held from March 28 to April 3, The Walt Disney Company, owner of such intellectual properties as world-famous cartoon characters Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, and operator of Disney theme parks like the ones in Shanghai and Hong Kong, has shown that popular art, and art-inspired fashion, can transcend cultural and geographical distinctions.

At the fashion event, a segment called "Mickey True Original" attracted much attention. In that segment, the highlight was a bright yellow down jacket resembling the cocoon shape of Mickey Mouse.

It was created by Chen Peng, 27, a Chinese fashion designer who drew inspiration from the famous cartoon character. Like Chen, other Chinese fashion designers were free to interpret Disney characters through their creations.
