In a thrilling celebration of classic horror cinema, Universal Products & Experiences has teamed up with the Los Angeles-based apparel company, Vixen by Micheline Pitt, to unveil a stunning new line of apparel and accessories. This collaboration marks the 70th anniversary of the iconic monster film, Creature From the Black Lagoon, and introduces an all-new Summer 2024 collection.

“Whether you’re a devoted fan of vintage horror films or a fashion aficionado, our Creature From the Black Lagoon collection offers a unique fusion of film history and vintage aesthetics with a contemporary design,” stated Micheline Pitt, CEO & Designer at Vixen. This collection is a tribute to the seminal 1954 film and its titular creature, masterfully designed by Budd Westmore and Millicent Patrick. Pitt emphasized, “Our goal was for fans to be able to immerse themselves in the magic of classic cinema with these iconic looks, brought to life for the modern wardrobe.”

Holly Goline, Vice President of Dark Universe at Universal Pictures, added, “Dive into the depths of classic horror and timeless style with our newest collection, a thrilling collaboration with Vixen by Micheline Pitt. Celebrate the legacy of Universal Monsters and the 70th anniversary of Creature From the Black Lagoon with meticulously crafted replica pieces and stunning digital wet prints featuring iconic art from the original film movie posters.” Goline highlighted that this collection pays homage to the unforgettable wardrobe worn in the film, with each piece reflecting the elegance and allure of 1950s fashion, including the memorable white one-piece swimsuit.

Micheline Pitt also remarked on the significance of this collaboration for her brand, stating, “Each collection, like the films on which they are based, has its own story to tell and its own style. As one of the first female-owned fashion brands to have ever licensed a horror property, we’re excited to celebrate Creature From the Black Lagoon through fashion, having been lifelong fans of the Universal Monsters.”

Vixen by Micheline Pitt, which has seen exponential growth since its founding in 2016, prides itself on being a part of the slow fashion movement. Pitt concluded, “Unlike most brands, we are privately owned and believe in quality over quantity. We pride ourselves in making items that can be cared for and worn for years to come.”
