Marshall Columbia × Disney: The Little Mermaid

For Disney’s 100th anniversary, Marshall Columbia revisited one of his favorite childhood films in a capsule exclusive to Nordstrom. The Little Mermaid’s underwater world becomes printed dresses, cropped hoodies and baby tees, with rhinestone motifs of Ariel, shells and starfish. The nostalgic starting point reflects Columbia’s desire to bring the shared childhood memories of 1990s Disney films into his work.

Contribution: Designed the dress’s textile print and rhinestone embellishment pattern in Adobe Illustrator.
