DCP, Nordstrom celebrate 45th anniversary of 'it's a small world'

SEATTLE -- Disney Consumer Products has partnered with Nordstrom to launch a new line of children's apparel, accessories and footwear in honor of the 45th anniversary of the "it's a small world" attraction at Disneyland.

According to the companies, the line will feature four seasonal collections that will hit Nordstrom stores nationwide and nordstrom.com/smallworld throughout 2011. Each delivery representing an individual country: 'Japanese Spring' launches the line on Feb. 28, followed by 'Indian Summer' in June, 'Scottish Fall' for September, and 'Russian Holiday' in November. Each collection includes items priced from $18 to $169 from collaborators such as Petunia Pickle Bottom, TOMS Shoes, FEED, Trumpette, Baby Nay and Mighty Fine.

"When Disney shared [artist Mary] Blair's original artwork with us from its archives, we were excited about how well it would translate into quality merchandise," said John Hunt, Nordstrom merchandise manager for infants and toddlers. "We hope our customers will love this art-driven collection as much as we do."
