Disney is celebrating its 100-year anniversary with a special auction to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The auction will include fashion, art and music pieces created by some of the world’s biggest stars. Beyoncé‘s Black Is King Catsuit is available at the auction, along with a 6-foot Mickey Mouse Sculpture donated from Virgil Abloh Securities’ design firm, a Lilo and Stitch-inspired record cover, a life-size Yoda sculpture by NIGO and more items.
“100 years of storytelling, 100 special contributions by renowned creative visionaries,” Disney states on the auction’s page. “For 100 years, Disney stories have inspired creators, influenced pop culture and connected generations across the world. To mark its 100th anniversary, Disney invited world-renowned creative visionaries across fashion, film, music and art, to make special contributions inspired by their personal connection to Disney’s stories and characters. Each participant could also nominate an emerging talent representing the future of creativity to be part of the program.”
The auction will be held in 18 countries from Oct. 12- Oct. 30, Disney said in a statement to Blavity. The company also announced that it’s donating $1 million to Make-A-Wish. Disney, which has been partnering with Make-A-Wish for more than 40 years, said the two partners have been granting wishes “for more than 150,000 children with critical illnesses worldwide.”
“The life-changing wishes include shopping sprees, studio visits,
theme park and resort vacations, cruises, talent meet-and-greets, sports-themed experiences and more,” the company stated.
Beyonce’s catsuit, taken from her Black is King musical film, is selling at the auction with a starting price of $1,500. The auction also includes a Tommy Hilfiger-inspired polo gown donated by artist Clarence Ruth.
“It’s a true honor to be a part of this remarkable celebration, which embodies the essence of blessing, inspiring, and supporting others,” Ruth wrote on Instagram. “The influence of iconic brands like @disney and @tommyhilfiger has been a continuous source of inspiration, empowering me to foster ambitious dreams. These brands have played a pivotal role in shaping my vision.”
