When we think of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, rarely do we think of leather jackets and knee-high cowboy lace-ups – but this is about to change with the new collab from Disney x COACH.
The collection takes all the romance and delicacy of the original fairy tales and weaves them with what feels like a stylistic nod to the witches we so often over-looked as style icons (we’re looking at you, Maleficent). With melting poison-apple-skull motifs and whimsical floral details, there’s a childish playfulness served up with colourful, melancholic charm.
It feels somewhat fitting for many of those who grew up with the original princes and princesses – perhaps grown up to be slightly darker and more satirical than the floaty-ballroom gown wearing princesses that ran around the castles, but still holding on to a little bit of the romance and fantasy of our childhood idols.
