QUACKING UP — An app that would let you “Karl-ify” yourself would certainly be fun.
Look what it’s done for Donald Duck, who is now logging his second collaboration with the Karl Lagerfeld fashion house dressed in dark sunglasses, a high-collared shirt and a black blazer — his head feathers pulled into a jaunty ponytail.
The latest Disney x Karl Lagerfeld capsule collection riffs on a hand-colored illustration of Donald Duck that the late designer created in 2004 to honor that beloved character’s 70th anniversary, dressing the bird just like him.
(The German designer was born only a few months before Donald Duck made his first appearance on film, cementing his affection for the temperamental bird.)

Back in 2004, Disneyland Paris quickly sold out of a limited-edition series of 3,000 shirts bearing the artwork.
And in 2023, when The Walt Disney Company marked its centenary year, it teamed up with Karl Lagerfeld. The fashion house won’t divulge figures, but characterized that tie-up as a great success.
The sketch, in various interpretations both color and black-and-white, appears on jeans jackets, sweaters, a bomber jacket and a casual blazer for the 2025 capsule, launching Thursday at Karl Lagerfeld stores, some Disney stores, select wholesale accounts and online at Karl.com and Disneystore.co.uk.
Accessories options include backpacks, tote bags, handbags, sneakers, sunglasses, scarves and umbrellas.
Pier Paolo Righi, chief executive officer at Karl Lagerfeld, considers the sketch a true collector’s piece from the brand’s archive, and a great example of the late German designer’s sense of humor.
“Karl has created this iconic artwork himself to blend the appearance of two icons and merge it to one,” he told WWD. “The request of Karl fans all over the bring back this art piece back to our collection was too big not to!”
