Disney’s Frozen have announced a brand-new partnership with Central Saint Martins BA Fashion (Womenswear and Menswear) programme for the Autumn 2021 term, with students tasked with creating high-fashion, abstract interpretations of Christopher Oram’s designs.

80 students from around the world are participating, grouped into teams. Each team will create Frozen inspired fashion looks. The process will be mentored and assessed throughout, with the final presentations made to a panel of judges including Frozen’s Costume Supervisor Natasha Ward and Head of Wardrobe Tim Gradwell, Chief Executive of Stylist Group Ella Dolphin and Photography and Specials Director for Stylist Magazine Tom Gormer, in early December, alongside their tutors who will provide constructive feedback and a thorough assessment of their work. 

Disney will then select up to three teams who will have a selection of their work displayed in Covent Garden’s Central Avenue in the iconic Market Building from 10 December.

This installation will sit alongside the other Frozen the Musical moments taking place across the estate this festive season, as part of the long-term collaboration between Covent Garden and Disney. Covent Garden has been transformed into a magical Frozen world for visitors with a Frozen forest at the entrance to the Market Building, dusted with snow hourly and playing an instrumental rendition of ‘Let It Go’, and a takeover of the Insta-famous Infinity Chamber, running alongside a range of festive activities across the estate.

Marketing Director for Disney Theatrical Productions Fiona Pearce said: “Disney’s ethos has always been about inspiring the creative voices of tomorrow, and we’re delighted to partner with Central Saint Martin’s on a collaboration around our new production of Frozen. The shear artistry of the world Christopher Oram has created on stage will provide springboard for the students’ creations, and we look forward to seeing the results of their collaborations.”
