Iceberg: The Comeback

Disney cartoon characters are not just for kids. There was a time where classical Disney characters were the rage in urban fashion. In the late 90's, Italian fashion label Iceberg made Disney cartoons look cool.

The images of Donald Duck and Goofy were staples for the fashion powerhouse. Iceberg sweaters were embroidered with the famous Disney faces. The moment hip-hop artist Mase wore an Iceberg sweater in his music video "Ni%#$z Wanna Act", the line dominated urban fashion. But, that was then and this is now.

With their new 2009 Spring Collection, Iceberg reemerged like a phoenix from its ashes. The 2009 collection features some of their signature pieces. Most notably, their Disney character sweaters.

Soon, very soon, we will be witnessing nostalgic rappers and members of the hip-hop community strutting down the streets in Iceberg clothing. When you do (because you will) spot a hiphopper with Iceberg swag, remember this: Fashion IS about recycling the past.
