Loungefly Fashion Show Kicks Off FunKon 2021!
FunKon 2021 is officially underway after a jaw-dropping Loungefly Fashion Show kicked off the three-day fan event at Funko Hollywood!
First of all, let’s just admire the A M A Z I N G space that is Funko Hollywood! All around the store huge photo opportunities to immerse yourself in your favorite films and series.
The store is truly any Disney (and Funko!) lover’s dream!
Guests from all scopes, including celebrities and influencers started to pour into the event to celebrate FunKon 2021, including Gabriel Iglesias and Kate Flannery.
Iglesias even came sporting his very own Funko shirt!
Guests got to have a sneak peek at the upcoming Loungefly and Stich Shoppe releases before their official runway debut, as well as some future releases with no known launch date!
These designs include a Hades collection, a Sanderson Sisters collection, Dracula Stitch and a Halloween Mickey and Minnie Mouse collection!
Upcoming Loungefly/Stitch Shoppe Collections
You may remember Loungefly launching a sneak preview at the Binx mini backpack a few months ago, and from that moment on we’ve been dreaming about getting our hands on it!
Well, it looks as though the wait won’t be too much longer with our favorite black cat making an appearance at the FunKon 2021 Fashion Show!
We should have known a full collection of the Hades and The Nightmare Before Christmas designs were coming, as both have a limited edition pin being released in the month of August that we recently reported on!
Stay calm everyone, but that IS a Mickey Mouse pumpkin bag!!!
Four new Stitch Shoppe collections are coming and we want them all!
The designs include Mickey and Minnie Mouse pumpkins, Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas and classic Disney Villains.
Guests were allowed an up-close look at the upcoming launches, and the more details we see, the more we’re in love.
A Sally bag will be joining the Jack and Zero Funko Pop! backpack that was announced prior to FunKon, as well as a Jack wallet.
There will be a matching bag that is launched with the villains book style Stitch Shoppe skirt, and let’s just say that we’re getting our credit card ready now!
Loungefly/Stitche Shoppe Fashion Show
With the guests being able to get up close and personal with the upcoming releases, it was time for the fashion show!
Select offerings that were on display were modeled, as well as brand new designs.
Loungefly are definitely getting their Halloween spirit ready with all of the upcoming spooky season offerings!
We can’t get over how adorable Dracula Stitch is!
A Captain America crossbody purse looks to be on its way and we can already see ourselves strolling through Avenger’s Campus with it.
A Snow White Castle Collection piece also looks to be on the way, with a pastel color palette.
A Surprise Appearance From…
and as if the evening couldn’t get any more perfect, a surprise runaway appearance from the one and only Anika Noni Rose, voice of Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog!
Rose showed up to officially debut a first look at the upcoming Princess Tiana Castle Series backpack and take pictures with fans.
From what we can see, it appears as though the collection will be based upon the art styled used in Tiana’s titular song “Almost There”, which takes inspiration from 1920’s Art Deco.
The backpack looks as though it shows the outside of Tiana’s Palace.
With FunKon 2021 starting Wednesday, August 4th, don’t forget to look at all of the Funko Pop! Vinyl and Loungefly offerings for the convention.
