Ear collectors! We’ve got big news!
It tends to be a treat when we get to see a new pair of designer ears, whether they’re glitzy like the BaubleBar Designer Ears or cool like Brett Iwan’s Designer Ears. Now, there’s a NEW pair coming — and they’re tugging at our heartstrings!
Darren Wilson, Principal Designer at Disney Creative Group and Disney Artist at Art of Disney, released a sneak peek of his new Up-inspired Designer Ears on his Instagram. Take a look!
One side of the ears features a young Carl and Ellie, with the Adventure Book cover design on one ear and their mailbox handprints on the other. The other side of the hat shows an older Carl and Ellie with souvenirs from their scrapbook and the mailbox design again.
These ears are SO gorgeous. They look just like they could be on display in Art of Disney with all the other masterpieces! According to Wilson, this ear hat will debut at EPCOT International Festival of the Arts on January 22!
We’ll be keeping an eye out for more news of arrival for this new pair of designer ears, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates!
