Marvel teams up with The Prince’s Trust
Disney has teamed up with The Prince’s Trust to launch something unexpected – new fashion and accessories lines. Nine young people have designed two Marvel product ranges under the mentorship of Disney designers. The first range focuses on the billion-dollar Avengers franchise and is exclusively available on shopDisney across Europe, Middle East and Asia.
Beautiful colours meet gender-neutral designs with the collection which features a wide array of items from tops, varsity jackets, sportswear, accessories, stationery, along with a themed basketball and backpack. The 10-piece pin set is especially well designed and will thrill Avengers fans of all ages.
The second range showcases female superheroes across the Marvel spectrum and is top secret at the moment(!), but look out for more details of this on The Capturist before they drop online later in 2022. The launch comes after a year-long partnership where young people from diverse backgrounds gained real-world design, fashion and product manufacturing experience.
‘Get Started in Product Design with Marvel’, is the first in a three-year partnership with The Princes Trust so expect more unique designs over the coming months and years from the team. Disney is also putting its money where its mouth is and donating £300,000 to The Princes Trust over the next three years.
