Icing on The Cake

- — JOELLE DIDERICH

At 10 years old, “Frozen” still holds youngsters in thrall. Now Givenchy has teamed up with Disney to mark the first major milestone of the hugely popular animated feature with a capsule collection for children.

The line for girls and boys is made up of seven pieces inspired by the beloved characters of Elsa and

Olaf, rendered in a palette of black, white and blue. Priced from $ 249 to $ 1,529, the line is available at select retailers and globally at givenchy.com.

Would- be princesses might opt for an ice blue dress twinkling with Swarovski crystals that form Givenchy’s signature 4G logo on the bodice. Flaring out into a mesh skirt and a short train embellishe­d with snowflake embroidery, it can be worn with sparkly silver ballet flats or with black- andwhite high-tops for an edgier take.

The collection also includes black- and-white T- shirts featuring the silhouette of Olaf, the snowman with the carrot nose, and a pale blue T- shirt dress printed with an image of Elsa for super-fans of the character voiced by Idina Menzel, who famously sings “Let It Go.”

These are rounded out by staples such as shorts, skirts and pants, and accessorie­s including baseball caps and bobs, and several sneaker styles, from tennis shoes to runners and high-tops.

It marks the latest chapter in the long-term collaborat­ion between the entertainm­ent conglomera­te and the

LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton- owned fashion house, which started in 2022. The initial capsule line, dubbed “The Wonder Gallery,” already included some items featuring

Elsa and Olaf, alongside other famous cartoon characters such as Bambi, Perdita and Pongo from “101 Dalmatians.”

Since its release “Frozen” has become a pop culture phenomenon and is one of the highest- grossing animation films of all time. Disney recently opened its first “Frozen” themed land, World of Frozen, at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort on Nov. 20.

“Our latest collection with Givenchy is fun, fresh and celebrates our beloved characters from Disney’s Frozen, in honor of the film’s 10th anniversar­y. We work with global fashion partners to create unique and whimsical collection­s that are rooted in Disney storytelli­ng and create something truly distinct in the market for families to enjoy,” said Tasia Filippatos, president of Disney Consumer Products, Games and Publishing.
