London Fashion Week will pay tribute to everyone’s favourite cartoon muse
A sketch by Richard Nicoll of his Minie Mouse Must Have design One of the highlights of this year’s London Fashion Week is going to be inspired by an unlikely albeit adorable muse: Minnie Mouse and her famous polka-dotted ensemble will be the sartorial reference point for a whole slew of designers, who will be collaborating on an exclusive line in honour of the fictional mouse.
“Minnie Mouse Must Haves” designs will be unveiled during LFW, with Richard Nicoll, Katie Hillier, Giles Deacon, Terry de Havilland, Lulu Guinness and more contributing Minnie-inspired looks. Like Daisy Duck and the rest of her crew, Minnie had an unmistakable flare for fashion: bows, polka-dotted dresses and white gloves were always in her repertoire (not to mention her big, round ears), so expect the dot trend to hold strong on the spring 2013 runway.

Topshop enters the affordable bridal market with a new Richard Nicoll-designed capsule collection. Check out the images!
Just in time for wedding season, Topshop, along with frequent collaborator Richard Nicoll, is entering bridal territory with their first capsule collection, Blushing Brides.
The collection, which will launch at Topshop at the Bay Yorkdale in early July, has the easy romance vibe down to a casual T—think blush pink lace, ruffled hems and the like. With prices topping out at $560 for a blush pink lace ruffled dress with a sheer skirt (yeah, there’s a lot going on there), the line is priced well below most traditional bridal lines. Hoping to re-appropriate the wears for every day? You’re looking at designer price points, but heck, this collection’s got designer written all over it.
