First Look at Mickey and Minnie’s New Bahamian Outfits
Renowned Bahamian fashion designer Theodore Elyett has been tasked with designing new looks for Mickey and Minnie Mouse whenever they visit Disney Cruise Line's newest island destination, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point on the island of Eleuthera. Theodore's designs will have a distinct Bahamian flair, inspired by the colorful and lively spirit of Junkanoo, the country's signature festival.
Growing up in Nassau, The Bahamas, Theodore was surrounded by art and fashion. His mother owned a sewing factory, and he began making dresses at an early age. Theodore's designs first hit the runway when he was just 13 years old, in 1998—the very year Disney Cruise Line set sail. He went on to design for Miss Bahamas contestants and Miss Bahamas Universe.
At Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Mickey and Minnie's new looks will be part of a collection of colorful works of art by local creators, which guests will experience throughout the new island destination. Theodore's creations reflect the culture and colorful hues of island life, using raffia and pineapple, which are typical materials used to decorate accessories in The Bahamas.
Theodore will also design special styles for Donald and Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto, and Chip 'n' Dale to wear while enjoying the natural beauty of Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Stay tuned for the final looks and to follow along with all the details of this exciting retreat debuting in summer 2024.
