Clubbing with Mickey

Nothing is sacred among Russia’s deviant hipster fashion designers, not even a true American hero like Mickey Mouse.

On this t-shirt by Moscow-based label Conspirators, the Steamboat Willie star is cast as some kind of mutant, his iconic head welded onto the body of what appears to be Vinni Pukh, Russia’s Danny-Devito-like approximation of Winnie the Pooh.
