The latest Levi's Fall/Winter 2018 collection celebrates Mickey Mouse's 90th birthday. The iconic cartoon character is turning 90 this upcoming week and the denim label launched a celebratory range comprised of silhouettes designed as menswear and womenswear. The collection features signature pieces by the label, full of both tops and bottoms -- this includes the 501 denim jeans, trucker jackets, graphic tees and sweaters. To complement the apparel, Levi's also created a selection of accessories including tote bags, bandanas, beanies and caps.
All of the pieces are adorned in Mickey Mouse graphics, including the all-over Mickey Mouse head print on the jeans and a beanie with Mickey Mouse ears. The limited-edition capsule is now available for purchase online at Levi's and at its retail locations.
