The House of Givenchy, led by Matthew M. Williams, has created a limited-edition capsule collection inspired by 101 Dalmatians as part of its ongoing partnership with Disney.
Pongo, Perdita, and their pups from the legendary 1961 animated Disney film are featured throughout the second chapter of the ongoing collaboration, which is a celebration of love and loyalty.
Supermodel Kate Moss makes a special appearance in a custom animation made for the collection by the masters of hand-drawn animation at Walt Disney Animation Studios, which features fun and adventure in the City of Light. The dalmatians, along with actor Matthew M. Williams and supermodel Kate Moss, arrive at Givenchy on Avenue George V to view the collection on display in the store windows as the animation comes to a close.
Givenchy says in the description of the accompanying animation, “Their moment of bliss is momentarily interrupted by a surprise appearance from the notorious Cruella De Vil, but she quickly flees after Pongo and Perdita stand their ground with a protective growl.
There are ready-to-wear items, bags, shoes, small leather accessories, and fashion jewelry in the special women’s and men’s range. Playful references feature Cruella De Vil strolling past the windows of the iconic Givenchy headquarters in Paris, puppies climbing through Givenchy lettering, and Perdita sporting a G-Lock collar on street-oriented pieces. Denim that has been torn and patched up with dalmatian-like black spots is another standout.
Along with 4G emblem footwear, accessories include leather collar G-Lock necklaces, printed wallets, card holders, and caps. Givenchy and 101 Dalmatians collide in statement jewelry made of brass with a silver finish and enamel that completes the capsule.
“To have the opportunity to tell a story and create new animation with the characters from 101 Dalmatians, through the imaginative and playful lens of the House of Givenchy, was an absolute dream. It was a true delight to collaborate with such talented creators to bring these beloved characters back to life in such a unique way,” said renowned Disney director and 2D animator, Eric Goldberg.
The Disney x Givenchy 101 Dalmatians capsule collection, priced between $400 and $4,200 USD for ready-to-wear, $230 and $1,665 USD for accessories, and $335 to $575 USD for jewelry, is available at Givenchy’s website and at a few select retailers.
