The Walt Disney Company has announced that an exclusive photographic exhibition exploring the character of Minnie Mouse and her influence on fashion and pop culture will open during London Fashion Week, in partnership with the British Fashion Council. Minnie: Style Icon, which will be housed at Blacks Members Club, Dean Street, London, will run from 18 to 20 September, exploring the fashion attributes of Minnie Mouse and how these have been used and interpreted by the fashion industry around the world. The exhibition will bring together photographs from the 1930’s up to present day including archive imagery and sketches, celebrity portraits and fashion spreads. Highlights will include never-before-seen images shot by and starring, model and photographer Georgia May Jagger; as well as the Madonna, Tokyo 1987 shot by Herb Ritts; and an African-themed Minnie shoot for Vogue Germany featuring Chanel Iman and British designer Ashley William’s Minnie Style collection for DAZED magazine. From her early pillbox flower hat which inspired ladies hat trends to her bow and ears, Minnie has been looked to for style inspiration since her inception and has celebrity fans all over the world including Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kourtney Kardashian and Lady Gaga to name but a few. More information on the exhibition and registration for tickets will be available on the Blacks Club website from 1 September.
