Walt Disney Signature, Disney’s first upscale, adult lifestyle brand, today announced a magical and sophisticated collection of accessories from a trio of leading designers, all inspired by the cinematic beauty of the classic film Fantasia. In celebration of the upcoming release of Fantasia & Fantasia 2000: 2-Movie Collection Special Edition on Blu-ray/DVD Walt Disney Signature Announces Designer Accessories Collection Inspired by Disney Classic Fantasia on November 30, 2010, the new Fantasia accessories collection from Walt Disney Signature offers artful statement pieces from high-end designers including Hayden-Harnett, nOir and Robin Rotenier.
“The film’s powerful iconic images from the whimsical to the mysterious make it a great bounty for designers and inspired them to create these timeless yet modern pieces that offer something for the Fantasia collector as well as the fashionista looking for on-trend designs,” said Pam Lifford, executive vice president, global fashion and home, Disney Consumer Products. “These accessories embody the spirit of Fantasia and bring it to life in new ways. Disney’s collaboration with these top designers continues to expand our brand further into the fashion sphere.”
Since its debut in 1940, the cinematic achievement of Fantasia has provided generations around the world with a lifetime of memories. A color and animation breakthrough, the film is much like today’s music videos with short fantasy scenarios visually-loaded with colors and patterns scored symphonically to music, providing designers with a treasure trove of resources to draw from.
The Walt Disney Signature Fantasia accessories collection includes:

Fine accessories designer Hayden-Harnett’s Fantasia collection seeks to convey a spirit of magic, nature as mankind’s muse, and creative fantasy.
The richly artisanal collection consists of sand-washed silk scarves depicting scenes from the following Fantasia sequences: “Rite of Spring,” “Ave Maria” and “Night on Bald Mountain.” Dramatic studded leather cuffs, handbags and wallets feature embossing patterns inspired by the ancient magical leather tomes and soaring gothic architecture found in the film’s “Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria” sequences. Antique brass closures add an ancient and handcrafted touch.
The Hayden-Harnett and Walt Disney Signature Fantasia collection will debut in the designer’s Brooklyn and Nolita stores, on haydenharnett.com, and with select retailers in December.
