Uniqlo and Disney: A Longstanding Partnership
The collaboration between Uniqlo and Disney dates back over a decade, starting in 2009. This partnership has evolved over the years, with Uniqlo presenting various themed collections that reflect Disney’s rich universe. The latest collection builds on this tradition, celebrating the animated storytelling that has captivated audiences globally.
