London - Disney fans rejoice, as a new partnership between Yoox and Disney is set to satisfy all your fashion fixes. Fashion designers can't seem to get enough of the the magically, playful and enduring characters created by Disney - and who can blame them? Over the years countless high end and mass market brands have teamed up with the Walt Disney Company to bring their characters to life in the form of a collection. Cath Kidston's recent collaboration with Disney saw both its Winnie the Pooh and its Mickey Mouse collections sell out in hours, proving that fashion's love affair with these cute characters is far from over.

So it should come as little surprise that the world's largest online fashion luxury group, Yoox Net-a-Porter Group (YNAP) has joined forces with Disney to launch the company's first online fashion and lifestyle store on Yoox.
