Alongside other familiar faces like Kaia Gerber.

Cole Sprouse is throwing it back to his Disney days in a new campaign for Coach, and he’s bringing Kaia Gerber along with him!
The two are part of a new collaboration between Disney, late artist Keith Haring, and Coach. Haring was one of the most influential artists of the ’80s, and you’ve likely seen pieces of his graphic, colorful work before. Now, his reimaginings of Mickey Mouse will be featured on Coach bags, jackets, sweatshirts, and totes — all modeled by the faces of the campaign, including Cole, Kaia, and models Xiao Wen Ju, Kōki, and Myles O’Neal.
In the campaign images, we see Cole wearing a black sweatshirt with a graphic red and gold Mickey emblazoned on the back, while Kaia rocks a beige, yellow, and red shearling jacket with a Mickey illustration on the pocket, worn over a red and white striped Mickey tee. Myles O’Neal shows off a mini backpack, while Xiao Wen Ju dons a sweatshirt dress and a Mickey-themed cross-body bag. Kōki keeps it simple in a black skirt and classic white Mickey tee. According to a press release, the shoot was meant to pay homage to New York in the ’80s, where Haring made his name. Cole looks pretty happy to be reunited with the Mouse, doesn’t he? It’s been a long time since his Disney Channel days, but you know what they say — you can go home again.
“Sometimes the best design comes from the most unlikely juxtapositions, and I can’t think of a cultural clash that brings me more joy than Mickey Mouse and Keith Haring,” Coach’s creative director Stuart Vevers said in a press release. “Ahead of its time when it was first made, this art feels so timely today as we can celebrate and appreciate the diverse work of great creators whoever they may be, without social boundaries. As my collections over the years have shown, I love Disney and I love Keith Haring, so this collaboration makes for my ultimate treat.”
The Disney Mickey Mouse x Keith Haring Coach collection launches on December 26 and will retail for $175 to $2200. Coach has also created an immersive digital space where you can create your own Keith Haring-style illustrations, which will be available when the collection drops. If you’re ready to channel your inner child and a super-cool ’80s downtown artist, this collection is the perfect way to do so.
