Designers are known for getting their inspiration from surprising sources, but one of the most unlikely muses in fashion has got to be Mickey Mouse. Both Mickey and his coy consort Minnie feature in several new collections this season, from costume baubles to high jewellery. In fact Walt Disney himself worked with Salvador Dalí, Charlie Chaplin and Roald Dahl, and his company has been expanding its product base for decades, redefining the idea of high/low cultural collaborations.
众所周知,设计师们通常会从最意想不到之处获取灵感,但时装界最不可思议的艺术源泉要数米老鼠(Mickey Mouse)了。无论是服装饰件、还是高档珠宝,米老鼠与它的女朋友米妮(Minnie)成了今年秋冬季新推出的多个时装系列中的主打元素。事实上,沃尔特•迪斯尼(Walt Disney)自己也曾与萨尔瓦多•达利(Salvador Dalí)、查理•卓别林(Charlie Chaplin)与罗尔德•达尔(Roald Dahl)等人合作过,几十年来,他的公司不断拓展产品基础,不断诠释与高端及低端文化珠联璧合的理念。
