Disney merchandise is everywhere these days, with new and exciting collaborations popping up each week. One of the latest, Uniqlo's Love & Mickey Mouse collection, is a particularly artful take on the classic character. The tees are designed by artist Kate Moross, who offers up a refreshing take on everyone's favorite childhood characters of Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Moross is an established illustrator and graphic designer and their work speaks for itself to show immense talent. Moross is also a particularly exciting choice for this collaboration because, according to their Instagram, the artist identifies as "non-binary" and chose to create a unisex collection for Uniqlo. The illustrator has spoken to It's That Nice in the past and said, "I live in a kind of middle ground between the two master genders. I’m interested in a world from that perspective: looking at design and design interaction through the eyes of different genders." Moross doesn't design for men or for women, but for people of any and all gender identities.
Now is a time when more and more clothing is losing a designated gender label. The days of walking into a clothing store or shopping online and having to pick a side between men's and women's clothing are dwindling. And to show that unisex clothing can be just as fun and colorful as any other types of garb, Moross and Uniqlo have created masterpiece Mickey and Minnie Mouse tees.
