Man In The Forest

Vintage Collection by Man Is In The Forest

Journey through the Disney Era

No matter if it’s haute couture or street fashion, vintage has always been a major trend and reference point for many designers. In March 2011, CLOT is honored to announce the collaboration with globally renowned American vintage patchwork master - DRx (Dr. Romanelli) with the Disney Man Is In The Forest concept. . The DRx Disney Vintage Collection is a unique collection where every piece has been chosen personally by DRx from Disney’s rich archives- spanning a time period from the 1940’s through to the 80’s. DRx spent over 4 months visiting countless markets and collectors for product and inspiration for this collection. Every single piece comes with its own unique historical footprint and story, making every piece unique and inspiring.

Vintage Clothing has been re-described as– Aged Garments, this particular expression originated from Japanese, meaning garment pieces from decades ago, with unique designs and are no longer being produced. The fabrics, styles, tailoring details, or even the purpose of these garments are the perfect reflection of the long gone past. Man Is In The Forest is honored to have the opportunity to work alongside DRx, to reach back into the archives and relive timeless Disney pieces for fans everywhere. The DRx Disney Vintage Collection includes outfits, key rings and plush toys featuring all of the Disney classic characters. Collecting these classic and timeless items is not just an act of fulfilling personal aesthetics; moreover, they inspire nostalgia and reinforce that inspiration can come from many eras.
