To round out 2020, American fashion label Coach is giving us the art crossover that we never knew we needed. In collaboration with Disney and the Keith Haring Foundation, the brand’s latest covetable collection highlights Haring’s Mickey Mouse drawings. Now, these aren’t your regular Mickey Mouse cartoons—Haring’s artistic philosophy centred on making art available for everyone, and he paired that with his love of pop culture. Most notably, one of his personal heroes was Andy Warhol, and it is this amalgamation of personal, cultural references that has given us the Keith Haring interpretation of Disney’s most famous mouse.
As a long-time fan of Disney and Keith Haring, Coach’s creative director Stuart Vevers naturally wanted to pay tribute to two personal icons.
“Sometimes the best design comes from the most unlikely juxtapositions, and I can’t think of a cultural clash that brings me more joy than Mickey Mouse and Keith Haring,” Vevers said. “Ahead of its time when it was first made, this art feels so timely today as we can celebrate and appreciate the diverse work of great creators whoever they may be, without social boundaries.”
The collection features both ready-to-wear items, such as shearling jackets and sweatshirts, as well as the small leather goods and bags that Coach is known for. The pieces are the stars in Coach’s latest campaign, which features a diverse cast of characters from around the globe, including Kaia Gerber, Xiaowen Ju, Kōki and more.
