VIXEN By MICHELINE PITT Debuts 70th Anniversary "CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON" Collection!

The Universal Monsters are some of the most recognizable horror characters in the entire genre. Their looks, movies, and performances ushered in a series of horror archetypes that we still reference back to and have been cemented on their own Mount Rushmore of horror. The most aquatic menace of the bunch is “The Creature From The Black Lagoon” and in honor of the 70th anniversary, Vixen by Micheline Pitt is announcing a new collection to commemorate the moment!

Vixen has been at the forefront of fashion and horror for some time, having released collections for other such horror properties like Beetlejuice and Trick r’ Treat to name a few, but this new collection is special as Micheline Pitt is a well-regarded collector and superfan of the gilled monster. Check out the press release below for more information about this collection as well as some pictures of the line!

From the Press Release:

Universal Products & Experiences and Los Angeles-based apparel company Vixen by Micheline Pitt have released a line of apparel and accessories to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the classic monster film Creature From the Black Lagoon, which kicks off 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,” said Vixen CEO & Designer Micheline Pitt of the collaboration, itself a celebration of the seminal 1954 film and the titular creature at its center, famously designed by Budd Westmore and Millicent Patrick. “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.”

“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,” said Holly Goline, -Vice President, Dark Universe at Universal Pictures. “This collection pays homage to the iconic wardrobe worn in the film which remains etched in cinematic history. Each piece reflects the elegance and allure of the costumes and vintage fashion of the era of the film from the unforgettable white one-piece swimsuit to the sophisticated 1050s silhouettes that defined the character’s style.”

“Each collection, like the films on which they are based, has its own story to tell, and its own style, and as one of the first female-owned fashion brands to have ever licensed a horror property,” stated Pitt, “we’re excited to celebrate Creature From the Black Lagoon through fashion, having been a lifelong fan of the Universal Monsters.”

As for the continued expansion of Vixen by Micheline Pitt, an apparel company with a global consumer base which has grown exponentially since its founding in 2016, Pitt offered, “Unlike most brands, we are privately owned and believe in quality over quantity. We pride ourselves in being a part of slow fashion, making items that can be cared for and worn for years to come.”
