Fine art photographer Gray Malin has released a new series inspired by the ultimate global style icon, Minnie Mouse, set within Hollywood’s iconic landscape, the red carpet. The series is a limited run release along with a piece of video art, a first-ever production for Malin. The release coincides with #RockTheDots an annual celebration of fashion muse Minnie Mouse and her signature polka dot style tied to National Polka Dot Day on January 22nd and fittingly falls in the midst of Hollywood’s Award Season.
“Minnie Mouse has helped make polka dots famous all over the world, and I am continually inspired by her impact on fashion and pop culture,” said photographer Gray Malin. The video piece ‘Leading Lady’ showcases the movement that comprises the key stills of the series. Malin used his artistic eye to create a glamorous visual that highlights Minnie’s fun-loving personality and the glitz of Tinseltown from a whole new perspective.
Additionally, on National Polka Dot Day (January 22), Disney fans are encouraged to Rock The Dots with Disney Parks from Coast to Coast. This year, in celebration of this legacy and an upcoming collaboration between designer Olympia Le-Tan, Disney and Uniqlo, Olympia Le-Tan designed a custom dress and clutch handbag for Minnie Mouse which she will wear to a Hollywood dinner. The original polka dotted dress and clutch take inspiration from Olympia Le-Tan’s Minnie-themed collaboration with Uniqlo which will be available globally in Uniqlo stores this Spring.
Furthering the celebration, fans can “rock the dots” with custom coffee sleeves found at Los Angeles’s famed Alfred Coffee & Kitchen during the month of January. Guests can also look for murals with Minnie’s iconic polka dots outside the Melrose Place, Silverlake and Studio City locations.
