Dive into this summer’s new adventure

Kiko Milano has collaborated with Disney to launch its new limited edition The Little Mermaid collection: a new summer collection inspired by the Disney live-action film that lands in cinemas this month.

Created to reflect the film’s story of freedom, confidence and empowerment, it offers a treasure trove of products that are made for adventure – long-lasting, water resistant, moisturising on selected formulations – that will call you to discover the depths of the ocean, while summer-proof looks will be ideal for exploring the shore and enjoying everything that the warm weather has to offer.

Disney – The Little Mermaid collection is brought to life in an elegant and desirable packaging that turns each product into a prized beauty trinket: pearl-inspired casing and clam shell designs are guaranteed to hold pride of place on your dresser.

The new collection’s shades are inspired by the stunning colours of the sea, too. Marine blues reference a world of aquatic beauty, while golden sand tones recall the delights of the coastline. Dip into a selection of rich jewel tones fit for a fairytale heroine – pink, and orange and green – they’re all for you.

Available now via www.kikomilano.com and in stores worldwide.

“The Little Mermaid”, visionary filmmaker Rob Marshall’s live-action reimagining of the studio’s Oscar^®-winning animated musical classic, opens exclusively in theatres nationwide May 26, 2023. “The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful, spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.

The film stars singer and actress Halle Bailey (“grown-ish”) as Ariel; Jonah Hauer-King (“A Dog’s Way Home”) as Prince Eric; Tony Award^® winner Daveed Diggs (“Hamilton”) as the voice of Sebastian; Awkwafina (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) as the voice of Scuttle; Jacob Tremblay (“Room”) as the voice of Flounder; Noma Dumezweni (“Mary Poppins Returns”) as Queen Selina; Art Malik (“Homeland”) as Sir Grimsby; with Oscar^® winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men”, “Being the Ricardos”) as King Triton; and two-time Academy Award^® nominee Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” “Bridesmaids”) as Ursula. “The Little Mermaid” is directed by Oscar^® nominee Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Mary Poppins Returns”) with a screenplay by two-time Oscar nominee David Magee (“Life of Pi,” “Finding Neverland”). The songs feature music from multiple Academy Award^® winner Alan Menken (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin”) and lyrics by Howard Ashman, and new lyrics by three-time Tony Award^® winner Lin-Manuel Miranda. The film is produced by two-time Emmy^® winner Marc Platt, p.g.a. (“Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert”, “Grease Live!”), Miranda, two-time Emmy winner John DeLuca, p.g.a. (“Tony Bennett: An American Classic”), and Rob Marshall, with Jeffrey Silver (“The Lion King”) serving as executive producer.
