It turns out that Cruella wasn’t the last you’d see of the lovable Dalmatians. In the same vein as Balenciaga’s The Simpsons short, Givenchy has rolled out an all-new hand-drawn animation with Walt Disney Animation Studios that transports Pongo and Perdita to the gaze of less-cruel fashion enthusiasts.
Disney and Givenchy paired up back in May to launch T-shirts inspired by classic characters. The latest edition, described by the luxury house as “the second chapter in its long-term collaboration with Disney,” zeroes in on 1961’s 101 Dalmatians.
The new film imagines Pongo, Perdita, and their pups wandering along famous sites of Paris, including the River Seine, Eiffel Tower, and Arc de Triomphe. The main backdrop, of course, is the Givenchy store on Avenue George V.
The family plops in front of the store, enticed by the polka-dotted display in the window. Their peace is temporarily disrupted by the appearance of Cruella De Vil, who is quickly scared off by the couple.
Pongo and Perdita are barely the only familiar faces in the animation, which also features Givenchy creative director Matthew Williams and Kate Moss.
“To have the opportunity to tell a story and create new animation with the characters from 101 Dalmatians, through the imaginative and playful lens of the House of Givenchy, was an absolute dream,” reflects Walt Disney Animation Studios director and animator Eric Goldberg.
Spotted, quite literally, in this nostalgic capsule are ready-to-wear clothing, hats, bags, footwear, jewelry, and more. It’s now available to shop on Givenchy’s website and at retail stores. Have a preview below.
