As we commemorate the iconic character’s 97th birthday today, we look at how the beloved cartoon character has been a perennial fashion muse

- Akshay Kaushal

Mickey Mouse is undoubtedly a global fashion icon and designers from around the world have taken inspiration from this cute cartoon character with big eyes, white gloves, and a pert little nose.

The American cartoon character, which was co-created on November 18, 1928, by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, got a makeover in 1935 by animator Fred Moore.

In the 1980s, designers like Vivienne Westwood began reinterpreting the icons of Mickey and Minnie on clothing which brought a touch of punk edge and irony to the innocent imagery.

“Mickey Mouse is more than just a character; he is a symbol of nostalgia, youth culture, and playful rebellion, making him an irresistible collaborator for the fashion industry,” opines stylist Isha Bhansali.
