The Mouse House is continuing to solidify it's place in the apparel world. Disney and Uniqlo have teamed up for an expanded collaboration, so get ready for Mickey Mouse print flannels, jackets with Disney linings, plush toys crafted with Uniqlo's flannel and fleece, and much, more more. While these two big names have partnered before to create T-shirts and other basic items, the expanded collaboration will include a variety of other pieces, from flannel to plush toys. With Disney princesses and so many of the brand's characters (and their looks) trending lately, this collaboration comes at the perfect time. It's not only nostalgic, but Disney stuff is also just plain fun to wear, whether you are an adult or a youngster.
The collection is dubbed "Magic for All" and will boast apparel and other products as part of Uniqlo's LifeWear concept. According to Women's Wear Daily, the expended collaboration will be a mix of "Disney enchantment, Marvel action, Star Wars adventure, and Pixar creativity."
OK, so there's no way this collection cannot be awesome in every single facet. Plus, Uniqlo's collaborations are always fantastic, from Carine Roitfeld to former Hermes designer Christophe Lemaire.
Here's what else we know on the Disney front, paired with some items from the original collaboration, to give a little idea of what the collaboration began as, and what's to come.
1. Old + New
Signature Uniqlo items will get a boost of new from Disney prints. So what's old (or classic) is new! There will also be brand new styles, as well.

2. Disney-fied
There will be flannels with Mickey Mouse prints. Ultra Light Down jackets will have Disney linings. There will be travel pouches, slippers, and pullovers. Even cuter, Mickey Mouse plush toys will be sold in flannel and fleece, so you can shop for the mini Disney tyke in your life. Or you can nab one for yourself and put it in your car. I'm not judging.

3. Available Soon
WWD reports that there will be a pop-up store selling offerings from the Disney x Uniqlo wares at D23 Expo, which is a Disney fan event scheduled for August 14 through August 16 in Anaheim, California; a city that is also home to Disneyland. If you are not attending D23, don't fret. The Disney pieces will be sold in stores in a matter of weeks.

Personally, I'll be the first to add Uniqlo to my fall shopping destinations, since I love me some Disney.
