Disney expands its licensing business with a wave of fall 2026 collaborations

Disney has announced its style lineup for fall 2026. During its D23: The Official Disney Fan Club exposition, held from August 14 to 16 in Anaheim, California, the company confirmed 15 collaborations releasing from August to October.

The number of collaborations announced shouldn’t come as a surprise. Disney has a long history of partnering with different brands, creating collections and products that keep its characters top of mind for consumers. In 2025, the company was the number one licensor in the world, according to License Global's Top Global Licensors 2026 whitepaper, earning 63 billion dollars from retail sales of licensed consumer products.

The Disney | Bobby Kim collaboration will open the schedule with vintage-inspired T-shirts celebrating Disney classics including The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Lady and the Tramp, Oliver & Company, Mickey Mouse and Fantasia. Its Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey long-sleeve shirt will be available exclusively through D23 and disneystore.com on August 17, followed by the six-piece Classics collection on August 20.

Other August launches bring fresh takes on iconic characters. Peruvian designer Angie Schlegel (August 20) gives Disney Villains a haute couture treatment, combining traditional craftsmanship with expressive silhouettes, while Shoe Palace’s Mickey Mouse Traveler collection (August 21) turns Mickey and Friends into travel-ready streetwear through coordinated hoodies, tracksuits, jerseys, shorts and shirts.

September focuses on major anniversaries and fan-favorite franchises. Cakeworthy (September 4) commemorates 30 years of The Hunchback of Notre Dame with a colorful ’90s-inspired range, including a flannel featuring lyrics from “Out There.” Loungefly (September 4) marks Cars’ 20th anniversary with character bags, mystery collectibles and a light-up Lightning McQueen backpack, followed by Crocs’ (September 16) Dinoco-inspired blue CrocBand silhouette.

Vera Bradley’s (September 24) Fantasia collection features Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey across bags, wallets and accessories.

Streetwear also takes center stage through Civil Regime’s (September) first The Nightmare Before Christmas collaboration, Culture Kings’ (September) globally available 16-piece Mickey Mouse range and Realism’s (September) premium Winnie the Pooh collection. Little Words Project (September) adds a collectible element with Disney Villains blind-bag bracelets.

October brings festive releases from ColourPop (October 8), Girls Crew (October 20) and Pandora (October 22), including holiday beauty, jewelry and accessories inspired by Mickey and Minnie, Disney Christmas motifs, Mulan and Winnie the Pooh. Japanese label Baroque Japan (October) rounds out the lineup with “Natuventure,” a contemporary fashion collection featuring quilted outerwear, statement bags and utility accessories.
