Disney's famed Dalmatians get a Givenchy makeover in new capsule collection

Disney has teamed up with Givenchy to give everyone’s favourite spotty pups a high-fashion makeover.

For the second chapter in its long-term collaboration with Disney, Givenchy has created a limited-edition capsule collection starring the beloved characters from the 1961 animated film 101 Dalmatians.

Designed by Givenchy’s creative director Matthew M Williams in close collaboration with Disney, the capsule imagines Pongo, Perdita and their pups setting out on an adventure across Paris. Dalmatian puppies frolic about on Givenchy's 4G emblem or romp over the balconies of the Hotel de Caraman, the brand's address on Avenue George V.

Cruella De Vil is also in town, sweeping through Paris's Golden Triangle with shopping bags over her arms, hopefully devoid of any fur coats.

Pieces for women and men include ready-to-wear, bags, shoes, small leather accessories and fashion jewellery. For women, there are fun separates in light pink, black and white; a T-shirt with puppies clambering through the Givenchy logo; and a black-and-white varsity jacket bearing a charming portrait of Perdita wearing a G-Lock collar.

For men, a stern-looking Pongo, also sporting a G-Lock collar, appears on separates with black or white spots, or on tailored black suiting. Meanwhile, ripped and repaired denim pieces feature Dalmatian-like black spots.

There are also wallets, card holders and caps printed with puppy motifs; bob hats; a Pongo cross-body bag; and a black backpack with a castle silhouette. Women's footwear— from slides to high and low-tops— feature Perdita and her pups intermingled with the the 4G emblem, while heart-shaped rings, earrings and pendants reference the universal themes of love and loyalty.

Prices for the Disney x Givenchy 101 Dalmatians collection range from € 390 ($407) to €3,990 for ready-to-wear, €220 to €1,590 for accessories, and €320 to €550 for jewellery.

To bring the collection to life, Givenchy worked alongside Disney experts to create a short animated video featuring the playful pups on a fanciful adventure through the streets of Paris, with a cameo by supermodel Kate Moss.

“To have the opportunity to tell a story and create new animation with the characters from 101 Dalmatians, through the imaginative and playful lens of the house of Givenchy, was an absolute dream," says Eric Goldberg, the renowned Disney director and 2D animator who oversaw the animated video.

"It was a true delight to collaborate with such talented creators to bring these beloved characters back to life in such a unique way."

Another way to earn air miles

In addition to the Emirates and Etihad programmes, there is the Air Miles Middle East card, which offers members the ability to choose any airline, has no black-out dates and no restrictions on seat availability. Air Miles is linked up to HSBC credit cards and can also be earned through retail partners such as Spinneys, Sharaf DG and The Toy Store.

An Emirates Dubai-London round-trip ticket costs 180,000 miles on the Air Miles website. But customers earn these ‘miles’ at a much faster rate than airline miles. Adidas offers two air miles per Dh1 spent. Air Miles has partnerships with websites as well, so booking.com and agoda.com offer three miles per Dh1 spent.

“If you use your HSBC credit card when shopping at our partners, you are able to earn Air Miles twice which will mean you can get that flight reward faster and for less spend,” says Paul Lacey, the managing director for Europe, Middle East and India for Aimia, which owns and operates Air Miles Middle East.

hall of shame

SUNDERLAND 2002-03

No one has ended a Premier League season quite like Sunderland. They lost each of their final 15 games, taking no points after January. They ended up with 19 in total, sacking managers Peter Reid and Howard Wilkinson and losing 3-1 to Charlton when they scored three own goals in eight minutes.

SUNDERLAND 2005-06

Until Derby came along, Sunderland’s total of 15 points was the Premier League’s record low. They made it until May and their final home game before winning at the Stadium of Light while they lost a joint record 29 of their 38 league games.

HUDDERSFIELD 2018-19

Joined Derby as the only team to be relegated in March. No striker scored until January, while only two players got more assists than goalkeeper Jonas Lossl. The mid-season appointment Jan Siewert was to end his time as Huddersfield manager with a 5.3 per cent win rate.

ASTON VILLA 2015-16

Perhaps the most inexplicably bad season, considering they signed Idrissa Gueye and Adama Traore and still only got 17 points. Villa won their first league game, but none of the next 19. They ended an abominable campaign by taking one point from the last 39 available.

FULHAM 2018-19

Terrible in different ways. Fulham’s total of 26 points is not among the lowest ever but they contrived to get relegated after spending over £100 million (Dh457m) in the transfer market. Much of it went on defenders but they only kept two clean sheets in their first 33 games.

LA LIGA: Sporting Gijon, 13 points in 1997-98.

BUNDESLIGA: Tasmania Berlin, 10 points in 1965-66

From Europe to the Middle East, economic success brings wealth - and lifestyle diseases

A rise in obesity figures and the need for more public spending is a familiar trend in the developing world as western lifestyles are adopted.

One in five deaths around the world is now caused by bad diet, with obesity the fastest growing global risk. A high body mass index is also the top cause of metabolic diseases relating to death and disability in Kuwait,  Qatar and Oman – and second on the list in Bahrain.

In Britain, heart disease, lung cancer and Alzheimer’s remain among the leading causes of death, and people there are spending more time suffering from health problems.

The UK is expected to spend $421.4 billion on healthcare by 2040, up from $239.3 billion in 2014.

And development assistance for health is talking about the financial aid given to governments to support social, environmental development of developing countries.
