There is nothing more fun than shopping for new Disney merchandise. Except for when Disney merch crosses over in a collaboration with one of your favorite brands. Disney fans and fashion fans around the globe are going gah-gah for the newest Disney collaboration with French couture brand Givenchy!
First, for a little bit of brand background. Givenchy is a French luxury clothing and perfume brand launched in 1952 by designer Hubert de Givenchy. Originally praised for its separates collections, this brand quickly gained traction and popularity. The original collection contained flowy skirts and puff-sleeved blouses that were fashioned from raw cotton. The brand expanded in the decades to come to include a men’s line and more diverse haute couture designs.

Haute couture fashion means that a garment is incredibly customized with excellent attention to detail. Haute couture is French for “high sewing”, meaning that a garment is impeccably made, perfectly fitted, and expertly sewn. Givenchy famously outfitted Audrey Hepburn for iconic films like Funny Girl, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and Paris When it Sizzles.
Other leading ladies dressed by Givenchy included Princess Grace of Monaco and Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis. In more recent years, this fashion house has outfitted celebrities like Megan Markle, Beyoncé Knowles, Julia Roberts, and Lady Gaga.
The buzz around this brand in summer 2022 is all about their ongoing collaboration with the Walt Disney Company. This news was teased in late spring. Disney x Givenchy features Disney animated characters from 101 Dalmatians, Bambi, and Frozen. A press release from the company shared that this “limited-edition capsule collection of luxury ready-to-wear,” would be released in individual drops throughout the summer.

Givenchy perfectly named this collection “The Wonder Gallery“. This Givenchy Creative Director Matthew Williams was especially excited about this collaboration because of his personal love for, and history with, Disney.
When announcing the upcoming collaboration, Williams shared, “Disney has always held a special place in my heart, as it has for so many across generations, countries, and cultures. As a boy from California and a father in Paris, Disney has always been a source of meaningful moments throughout my life. It’s a true honor to bring out, two iconic brands together for this project.”
On July 1, 2022, Givenchy dropped a stunning collection that will have you seeing spots! That’s right, 101 Dalmatians merchandise hit the Givenchy website and is giving us major add-to-cart vibes. The beautiful hand-drawn animation in this 1961 classic Disney movie is stunning, so we understand why it was selected to be part of the Givenchy Wonder Gallery.

This collection was introduced with the most adorable animation commercial that placed those beloved pups Pongo and Perdita in Paris instead of their home in London. These love birds (er dogs) are shown paw in paw on the love lock bridge before prancing down the famous Parisian shopping street, the Champs-Élysées, toward a Givenchy store. Iconic supermodel Kate Moss even meets the pair of pups in animated form as they admire Givenchy bags in a shop window and scare away that pesky villain Cruella De Vil.

If I had the budget to purchase from this dreamy Disney x Givenchy collection, I would absolutely purchase this Pongo purse. Named the G-Essentials 101 Dalmatians camera bag in printed leather. This sleek black leather cross-body camera bag shows serious-faced Pongo adorned with a Givenchy dog tag hanging from his collar. This is one of the more expensive pieces in the collection, coming in at $1270.

Honestly, we are swooning over so many pieces in this collection. From sweatshirts and water bottles to puppy-clad pink leather wallets and pink Cruella De Vil cardigans, the options are many. The pieces in this collection reflect all the charm and detail of the Walt Disney Animation Studios’ film 101 Dalmatians. Beloved characters have been successfully translated into fine luxury pieces. One thing is certain, House of Givenchy did a phenomenal job on this collection.
