    Disney and Gucci Release New Mickey Mouse-Themed Collection for 2020 Lunar New Year

    The Year of the Rat begins a new cycle in the 12-year Chinese Zodiac Calendar and to celebrate the 2020 Lunar New Year, Gucci has teamed up with Disney to release a collection that features the most famous mouse of them all!

    The luxury Italian label turned to Mickey Mouse, for a limited-edition collection of ready-to-wear items.

    As every nostalgic fashionista would hope, Gucci x Disney has Mickey and Minnie-adorned versions of all the brand’s most sought after pieces, including the Marmont handbag, classic logo tee, fluffy loafers and more. Take a look below at a few of the collection items:

    Disney x Gucci oversize T-shirt – $650

    Women’s GG Disney x Gucci Princetown slipper – $890

    Online Exclusive Disney x Gucci GG Marmont medium shoulder bag – $2,980

    Disney x Gucci wool jumper – $1,890

    Women’s Disney x Gucci Ace sneaker – $790

    Disney x Gucci jersey dress – $1,600

    Disney x Gucci small bucket bag – $1,980

    One of the key points about the collection is that Gucci’s introduced a brand new material: the Mini GG Supreme canvas with Mickey Mouse print. The new beige design is inspired by the fashion house’s ’80s fabrics, which gives the collection a cool vintage feel.

    Gucci and Mickey Mouse have teamed up in the past, as well. For the cartoon character’s 90th birthday in 2018, Gucci unveiled a 3D Mickey Mouse Top Handle Bag ($4,500) on the Spring-Summer 2019 Runway.

  • Russi Taylor, the Official Voice of Minnie Mouse, Dies at 75

    Russi Taylor, the Official Voice of Minnie Mouse, Dies at 75

    Russi Taylor, the official voice of Minnie Mouse, passed away yesterday at the age of 75 in Glendale, California.

    Taylor was a Disney legend and she brought to life an illustrious cast of beloved characters during a career that spanned nearly four decades, but she is best known as the official voice of Minnie Mouse.

    She first assumed the role more than 30 years ago and has given voice to Minnie in hundreds of Disney projects—from television, to theme park experiences, animated shorts, and theatrical films—no performance was too tough for Russi’s accomplished take on the divine Miss Minnie Mouse.

    “Minnie Mouse lost her voice with the passing of Russi Taylor,” said Bob Iger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company. “For more than 30 years, Minnie and Russi worked together to entertain millions around the world—a partnership that made Minnie a global icon and Russi a Disney Legend beloved by fans everywhere. We’re so grateful for Russi’s talent as well as the tremendous spirit and great joy she brought to everything she did. It was a privilege to have known her and an honor to have worked with her, and we take comfort in the knowledge that her work will continue to entertain and inspire for generations to come. Russi will be sorely missed and our hearts go out to her family and friends, along with our deepest condolences.”

    Russi found her real-life Mickey in the mid-1980s in the form of Wayne Allwine, who had voiced Mickey Mouse since 1977. The pair fell deeply in love and married in 1991, remaining as inseparable as their animated counterparts until Wayne’s passing in 2009.  “I really want whoever comes after us to be aware of the history and the tradition, and to love the characters as much as we do,” she said of herself and Wayne.
