Mickey and Minnie, seasoned performers on the red-carpet, were dressed by internationally renowned fashion designer Vivienne Tam. Their outfits were specially designed to celebrate Disney’s ‘Year of the Mouse’ festivities and are a beautiful blend of festive reds and pinks inspired by catwalk trends to capture the festive spirit of this past Chinese New Year.
Trendspotters will know that Minnie is a true ‘fashionista’ at heart. She spent the evening swapping fashion tips and discussing the hottest Spring trends with fashion’s elite and decided that Mickey and her outfits created for the upcoming CNY celebration at Hong Kong Disneyland will be themed with ethnic style with Chinese influence and detailed embroidery.
Minnie enjoys a high profile and is no stranger to rubbing shoulders with Vogue editors and fashion’s taste-makers -- having sat for Vogue Russia she hopes to add Vogue China to that list.
