Karl Lagerfeld x Disney: Donald Duck Returns as a Style Icon in a New 2025 Capsule Collection

Karl Lagerfeld x Disney: Donald Duck Returns as a Style Icon in a New 2025 Capsule Collection

The new collaboration is based on a rare early 2000s sketch of the famously feisty cartoon bird.

Look what Donald Duck has accomplished: he’s fronting his second collaboration with fashion house Karl Lagerfeld, dressed in dark sunglasses, a high-collared shirt, a black blazer, and his signature feathers swept into a cheerful ponytail.

The latest Disney x Karl Lagerfeld capsule collection takes inspiration from a hand-colored illustration of Donald Duck that the late designer created in 2004 to mark the beloved character’s 70th anniversary—portraying the duck dressed exactly like Lagerfeld himself. Back then, Disneyland Paris sold out a limited edition of 3,000 T-shirts featuring the image.

Fast forward to 2023, when The Walt Disney Company celebrated its 100th anniversary and partnered with Karl Lagerfeld once again. While the fashion house has not disclosed sales figures, the collaboration was deemed a major success.

Now, for the 2025 capsule, the iconic sketch appears in both color and black-and-white versions across a wide array of fashion pieces: denim jackets, sweaters, a bomber jacket, and a casual blazer. The capsule will be available starting Thursday in Karl Lagerfeld boutiques, selected Disney stores, chosen wholesale partners, and online at Karl.com and Disneystore.co.uk.

Accessories also play a starring role in the collection, with Donald Duck graphics featured on backpacks, tote bags, clutches, sneakers, sunglasses, scarves, and umbrellas.

Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of Karl Lagerfeld, describes the original sketch as a collectible gem from the house’s archives and a perfect example of the legendary German designer’s signature sense of humor.
