Summary of the inspiring partnership with Cropp and Disney Poland
In 2023, to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary, we teamed up with Cropp and Disney Poland to create a unique clothing collection inspired by the legendary Star Wars saga. (For more details about the origins and background of this project, see LPP Foundation and Cropp Launch a Special Project for Disney’s 100th Anniversary).
Truly extraordinary, the project has left a lasting impression on everyone involved. What made it even more remarkable was the involvement of children and adolescents from the Gdańsk Foundation for Social Innovation, the “Ognisko Nadziei” Family Foundation, and the “Rodzinny Gdańsk” Foundation. They all took part in a photoshoot to promote the collection and visited Disney Poland’s headquarters in Warsaw.

Young designers have achieved great success
Fifteen young people observed the design and creation process of the collection from start to finish. They accompanied the designers at every stage and eagerly shared their own ideas. Their creative input helped to design the collection, which was launched in shops in November 2023, becoming an overwhelming success.
The foundation beneficiaries had the opportunity to see their work in shops, on online platforms and even on the streets, where they saw people wearing the unique Star Wars-themed clothing they helped design!
We know this experience has given them tremendous satisfaction, and has allowed them to feel empowered, boosting their self-confidence. The partnership with Cropp and Disney Poland was a key part of our „Fashion for a Better Start” programme, which aims to provide opportunities for children and adolescents, investing in their development and independence.
Now it is time to look back on the project as a whole. As a token of our appreciation for the commitment that the young designers demonstrated in the collection creation process, we, alongside the Cropp and Disney Poland representatives, presented them with new electronic equipment to further support their future growth. We are confident that their true fashion careers are only just beginning! We would like to say a big thank you and wish them every success!
Perhaps you also have some pieces of Star Wars-themed clothing from Cropp in your wardrobe? If so, bear in mind that they were created under exceptional circumstances. Wear them with pride!
