Prices for the pieces will range from 3.90 to 24.90 dollars, according to WWD.

Recently, it’s been noted that Forever 21 has managed to do well in a trend of mall decline. The brand has taken major steps over the years and continues to do well in business. Other retailers such as American Apparel, Wet Seal, and PacSun have all faced the financial struggles of retail. However, Forever 21 has managed to keep business alive. The company did downsize a couple of international stores in the U.K., due to their underperformance. The shuttering of those stores allowed the company to focus more on other stores that are bringing in more revenue. It was a business decision carried out by the company.

In partnering with Disney-Pixar, the 29-piece collection will debut the end of summer. Officially, the collection will be available internationally starting August 31, as reported by WWD. The Disney-Pixar collection will be in-stores as well as on Forever 21’s e-commerce site.
