Odd collaborations have kept a lot of fashion folk in the limelight. From Yohji Yamamoto and adidas to Versace for H&M, even the forthcoming Charlie Brown and Uniqlo (poor Charlie Brown), partnerships that feel a little bit wrong usually turn out to be really right. So you can see where Disney was coming from when it chose the cover of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album as the starting point for a new Mickey Mouse T-shirt.
Er, hang on. No, that doesn't sound right, does it, even in a wrong way? Disney's US website describes its new top as hiding Mickey's face within "the graphic of the pulse of a star", but earlier sightings of the page report explicit reference to Joy Division, purveyors of postpunk gloom whose lead singer Ian Curtis killed himself in 1980. Getting that Disney feeling?
