UNIQLO x Olympia Le-Tan and Disney to Debut “Minnie Mouse Loves Dots” Collection this Spring

UNIQLO announces the launch of the “Minnie Mouse Loves Dots” collection, a collaboration with fashion designer Olympia Le-Tan. The collection is part of the 2017 spring/summer collection for MAGIC FOR ALL, a partnership with the Walt Disney Company to bring the dreams and excitement of Disney to people around the world through clothes. The collection will be available beginning this spring at UNIQLO stores in 18 countries and regions around the world¹, and through the UNIQLO online store².

Olympia Le-Tan’s distinctive, handmade embroidery designs and unique, highly individualistic world view are popular with many women. The “Minnie Mouse Loves Dots” collection centers on Minnie’s signature dots and classic vintage blue dress motif, infused with a fantasy world imagined by Olympia Le-Tan. “Minnie Mouse Loves Dots” features original design created specifically for the collection and is inspired by the story of Minnie Mouse’s making of her own handmade blue dress adorned with her signature dot pattern.

A “Minnie Rocks the Dots” event was held on January 17th at the Penthouse of The Andaz Hotel in West Hollywood, California, at which Minnie Mouse wore a dress³ specially designed by Ms. Le-Tan. The design of the blue dress with a dot pattern was inspired by the products in this collection. "Designing a dress for my favorite childhood icon was quite an exciting thing to do. I tried to stay true to what Minnie usually wears but adding my personal touch. The sequins make the dress rather festive which is great as we are celebrating this new collaboration," Olympia noted.

Olympia Le-Tan commented, “I was really excited to work with UNIQLO again. It was fun doing the first collaboration and I was really happy with the result, so doing it again, but this time with Minnie Mouse was such a dream for me! For this collection, we created new artwork and a new story but with one of the most popular icons ever. For me that’s really special. We also tried to make it playful and quirky but classic enough to be wearable by all.”
