As part of the Fifth Avenue store's 'Electric Holiday' campaign, Disney have created a 5 minute-long cartoon featuring some of fashion's best known figures in animated form.

Watch as Minnie Mouse is transported into the hustle and bustle of Paris Fashion Week as she gazes longingly at a Lanvin dress in a shop window. On the way she meets the likes of Carine Roitfeld, Linda Evangelista and Alber Elbaz - the creator of her dream dress - gets papped by Steven Meisel, primped by Pat McGrath and preened by Guido, before taking to the catwalk with her fellow beloved Disney characters - Goofy in Balmain, Mickey in Balenciaga and Daisy in Dolce, plus many more.

It's the perfect meeting of fashion and fantasy - and the ending is beyond charming.

We're just wondering one thing - where's Wintour? Lol!

John Galliano Scandal

The latest twist in the story that won't go away sees John Galliano's  award revoked by François Hollande.

After being photographed lunching at the Paris Ritz with Anna Wintour during Haute Couture Fashion Week, it seemed things might finally be on the up for disgraced fashion designer John Galliano.

However WWD report that following his conviction for hurling anti-Semitic abuse at a woman outside a Paris café in February 2011, Galliano has been stripped of his Legion of Honour Award by French President, François Hollande.

The Gibraltar-born British fashion designer, who was ousted from creative director roles at both Christian Dior and his eponymous label following his arrest, was decorated as a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour at the Elysée Palace in 2010. The award is traditionally given for services to France, with other decorated fashion luminaries numbering Hubert de Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Azzedine Alaïa, Franca Sozzani, Marc Jacobs and Anna Wintour.

With rumours circling that he is poised to make a comeback in the ever-forgiving fashion world, Galliano will no doubt be dismayed that talk of the ugly incident - which the designer attributed to work-related stress - has flared-up again.

Separately, it is believed that Galliano has lodged an employee/employer dispute claim for over €15 million (£11.9 million) at the Conseil des Prud'hommes, with a Paris hearing scheduled for February 4, 2013.

Olsen twins beat Marc Jacobs for Top Award

It was Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's night at the duo scooped the Womenswear Designer of the Year at the Council of Fashion Designers of America's annual awards in New York.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen beat off stiff competition from the more-established Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler to win the accolade of Womenswear Designer of the Year at the last night's CFDA Awards.

Dressed in their own designs, the former-child star twins picked up the prize for their label The Row, which they launched in 2007 and aims to offer discreet luxury, focusing on clean lines, fine fabrics and the perfect fit. The pair thanked one another in their acceptance speech.

Other winners included Billy Reid for Menswear Designer of the Year and Reed Krakoff for Accessories Designer of the Year. Recipients of the Swarovski Awards for Emerging Talent were British shoe designer Tabitha Simmons for accessories, Phillip Lim for menswear and Joseph Altuzarra for womenswear.

Street style photography pioneers - and real-life couple - Scott Schuman and Garance Doré picked up the Media Award, Andrew Rosen, the CEO of Theory and Helmut Lang, was honoured with the Founders Award and Tommy Hilfiger received the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award. Anna Wintour presented Hilfiger with his awards, saying: "I admire him as much for who he is as what he has done."

Two honourees who were not in attendance to pick up their awards were Commes des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo, who won the International Award and Johnny Depp, who was given the Fashion Icon Award.

The awards also saw the Council of Fashion Designers of America celebrate its 50th anniversary. - Telegraph
