Dubai, UAE (April 10th, 2025) – ALDO, a leading fashion footwear and accessories brand under Apparel Group, is thrilled to unveil its Disney Princess & Villain Collection, launching April 10th, 2025. This limited capsule reimagines Disney’s iconic Princess and Villain characters, from the grace of Cinderella and Ariel to the boldness of Maleficent and Ursula, celebrating the duality of modern femininity. This collection celebrates nostalgic charm and self-expression through ALDO’s signature playful design DNA.
The Disney Princess & Villain Collection features 19 meticulously crafted designs, spanning women’s footwear, handbags, and accessories. The stunning capsule brings to life the elegance of Disney’s beloved characters, with standout pieces such as a Cinderella-inspired shimmering glass-inspired mule in bridal white and iconic Cinderella blue, paired with a dazzling clear clutch. Ariel’s charm is captured in sleek white heels and a metallic multi-tone clutch, while the Ursula-inspired jet-black heels exude drama, accented by a bold black and gold necklace. For a playful edge, the Stepsisters’-inspired vibrant pink heels make a daring statement, while the Aurora and Maleficent-inspired contrasting mules, in tickled pink and jet black, reflect their enchanting duality. Completing the collection, customizable sneakers feature interchangeable charms inspired by multi-character designs, seamlessly combining nostalgia with contemporary flair. Each footwear piece is infused with ALDO’s iconic Pillow Walk™ technology, delivering unparalleled comfort alongside striking style.
“Our collaboration with Disney has always been about capturing the magic and timeless appeal of their iconic characters through ALDO’s signature lens of trend-driven design and innovation,” says Amanda Amar, Vice President of Global Brand Strategy, Social Media & Public Relations at ALDO. “Building on the success of our SS22 Princess Collection, we are thrilled to continue to bring both ALDO and Disney fans together through this collection. By celebrating the duality of femininity—graceful yet bold, kind yet fearless—we’ve created a capsule that invites our customers to dive into the world of nostalgia and express every facet of their unique style. This collection not only reimagines the beloved Disney characters we’ve grown up with but also strikes the perfect balance between being highly collectible and covetable, while remaining effortlessly wearable for both everyday life and life’s special moments.”
