During a special designer showcase at Shanghai’s Fashion week 2025, Disney put on a celebration of Toy Story designer duds to commemorate the Pixar movie turning 30. Yes, 30… we can’t believe it either. Also staggeringly out of this world are the looks that hit the runway inspired by the vintage toys featured in the film.
The Disney Style account on Instagram shared the showcase, offering a look at pieces that made us go “Whooooaaahhhh” many, many times. From elevated cosplay-inspired outfits to minimalist motifs and brazenly bold deconstructions, you have to see how your beloved Pixar pals have been reimagined.
Take a look at the gallery here featuring the works of Chinese designers and brands, including Bokh Xuesong, Chin Chin, JE CAI, LELALES, LI-NING, Manufacture, Nan Knits, PONDER.ER, Short Sentence, and ZOON9B00.

The Buzz Lightyear looks are definitely a slay in our io9 eyes, while the Western attire gets a little out there. The one with the glass case and Pixar logo beanie is giving Silicon Valley Al’s Online Toy Barn, if he were a tech bro toy flipper. It’s also fun to see the rest of the franchise get some love with pieces featuring Lotso, Forky, and Key and Peele’s Ducky and Bunny duo. Out of the outfits shown, I think I’d like to rock that Lightyear meets Clueless pleated shirt and jacket.
Here’s a video with even more ridiculously ambitious looks:
