CHARLOTTE TARANTOLA for Disney - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The sweetest and most demure Disney Princess character, Snow White, has touched the hearts of generations since arriving on the silver screen in the first feature-length animated film in 1937. In the spirit of this magical history, Disney Consumer Products and Charlotte Tarantola came together to create a sophisticated fashion line worthy of this celebrated Disney star: Charlotte Tarantola for Disney. Well-known in the fashion industry for her trend-right designs that play up themes of color, innovative treatments and a subtle nod to nature, Tarantola was given access to the Disney archives to develop a collection that captures the essence of Snow White’s timeless story in an apparel line that is decidedly 21st century. These pieces are Collectibles for Charlotte Tarantola Fans and Disney Fans alike.

The collection offered tees for the sweet or sinister, pointing to both Snow White and the wicked Queen, with accents and appliqués which included foil, glitter, flocking and rhinestones. Other pieces incorporated the forest animals or wishing-well print patterns in cardigans, camis, tees and totes, that brought forth elements from the film with a balance of artistry and subtlety found only in other Tarantola creations.
“Snow White and Charlotte Tarantola are a match fit for a princess,” said Stephen Teglas, vice president, home, apparel, accessories and footwear, Disney Consumer Products. “This new collection takes the classic Disney film to a new level of sophistication.”
Since 2002, Disney has collaborated with the hottest designers to make classic characters like Snow White, Mickey Mouse and others fashionable. Disney is now viewed as a major fashion player, consistently ranking on the Women’s Wear Daily WWD100 list of the most influential fashion brands. Continuing this trend, Charlotte Tarantola for Disney is designed to appeal to trend-forward women and discerning gift givers.
