H&M has teamed up with another giant who sometimes goes by the same initials—the House of Mouse—and is now officially among the many brands who are celebrating the latter’s historic 100th-anniversary milestone.
The charming, street art-infused Disney100 x H&M collection is designed by artist Trevor Andrew, a former professional snowboarder turned multi-disciplinary artist.
His link with sports is significant; the range includes skateboards emblazoned with his graffiti, on top of the usual suspects of shirts, hoodies, and caps.
Notably, the line extols Disney’s iconic characters, reimagined through the lens of the artist, with garments and accessories serving as canvases. The pieces, edgy yet nostalgic, are adorned with all-over prints and Andrew’s signature symbols, like the ghost and the flying egg.

Among the highlights are a stylish leather bomber, oozing an 80s throwback charm with a contemporary twist, and timeless denim pieces. Tying it all together, however, are the versatile tees and hoodies, which H&M says make it easy for wearers to transition from day to night looks.

“I love the denim because the logos make it very iconic,” the artist proclaims. “I also like the varsity jacket because it has several Disney characters on it. It’s fun to be able to put so many all in one piece.”
Notably, Disney100 x H&M also debuts a first for H&M: limited-edition skateboards, which sport a seven-layer maple plywood deck and spotlight Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy, as well as hand-painted Disney branding.

“Skateboarding taught me everything. It was my access to art as a kid,” Andrew explains. These outdoor-friendly collectibles measure 31 inches long and eight inches wide.
Expressing his gratitude, Andrew describes: “I am honored to reimagine Disney’s iconic characters and bring them into a space where they are experienced and worn as a triple collab collection with H&M. This is about uniting art, fashion, and all of us.”
Besides the shoppable array, a unique art installation designed by the creative can now be seen at H&M Williamsburg in Brooklyn. From Disney-printed walls to re-upholstered couches with a magical twist, the space embodies Andrew's personal studio and the creative journey behind the collection.
The Disney100 x H&M collection, which include the limited-edition skateboards, are now available online and in stores.
