Down the rabbit hole
DISNEY’S 1951 animated version of ”Alice in Wonderland” has inspired a ready-to-wear collection for women and kids from Cath Kidston and Disney. The collection features prints and motifs from the marvelous world of the children’s classic.
Disney has joined forces with British brand Cath Kidston – known for its vintage prints – on a collection themed on the adventures of Alice in Wonderland ,the studio’s animated classic based on the book by Lewis Carroll. The pieces in this enchanting capsule celebrate the film’s star, Alice, and her many friends, from the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts to Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
The collection has several lines, each characterised by its own set of prints and motifs, and comprises women’s and children’s ready-towear pieces, as well as accessories, leather goods and homeware. All of the creations evoke a scene, a moment or iconic graphics from the animated movie, reworked by the Cath Kidston design team.
The Alice and Friends line, for example, features key characters from the Disney classic alongside a polka dot motif. Alice’s Words features cult phrases from the classic tale, while Alice’s Meadow shows Alice in a field of daisies, and Painting the Roses sees Alice adding colour to Cath Kidston’s iconic flowers. Alice Hearts, on the other hand, celebrates the Queen of Hearts.
The Disney x Cath Kidston collection goes on sale May 25 in stores and online at cathkidston.com.
