Mouseketeers Unite! A Childhood Friend has A Fashionable Renaissance

By Piera Gelardi and Natalia Rachlin

Don't tell us you're not psyched about this trend! Yes, Mickey and his lady friend Minnie are making a little comeback—just in time for Mr. Mouse's 75th anniversary—and we'll be the first to tell you this is one trend we're totally on board with. We don't like to brag, but we had Mickey on our radar this summer. And seeing as the Thursday "Style" section slapped M&M on the front page a few weeks' back, we're pretty sure mouse love will be catching on like wildfire. The article touched on new turn at peddling high-end lifestyle goods (A $3,900 wedding dress! $6,000 chandeliers!). That's all fine and good, but isn't that simple T-shirt still the best way to express your Mickey crush? We think so. Check out all the other Mickey fans we've been spotting lately. Yep, it's a Disney World.
