Wrong, co-owned by Virat Kohli, has announced the launch of a new fashion collection, MINIONS x WROGN.
This fashion collaboration brings together two of the biggest pop culture icons of today – Illumination’s larger-than-life Minions and WROGN co-creator and Captain of the Indian Cricket team, Virat Kohli.
Created in partnership with Universal Brand Development and licensing agent, Black White Orange, and designed by team Wrogn, the brand-new collection offers 10 unique designs in various colours and styles and will be available across offline and online stores in India from August 2020, stated a Press release.
“At Wrogn, we always try and work on something innovative and I’m excited that the brand, this time, has collaborated with the universal favorite – Illumination’s Minions! I believe this fashionable & fun collection will be loved by my fans. I’m eager to wear one and I’m sure these will bring a big smile on the consumers’ faces,” said Kohli.
Ten years after their creation, Gru and the Minions are among the most iconic animated characters of their generation. Globally recognized and beloved by fans of all ages, they have propelled Illumination’s Despicable Me into the most successful animated film franchise in history.
Gru is one of the few protagonists who is also an antagonist, whose sweet and subversive qualities make him relatable to all audiences. Bright yellow, instantly unforgettable, speaking a language that no one knows but that everyone can understand, the Minions have become icons of self-expression in pop culture on every continent of the globe.
Speaking on the collaboration, Ms. Anjana Reddy, CEO Universal Sportsbiz Pvt Ltd said, “We are very excited about collaborating with the Minions franchise. We have thoroughly enjoyed designing this collection and we are confident that it will do really well as Minions is rage, not only with kids but also adults across the globe and we are proud to bring this collection to our Wrogn customers through 250 points of sale offline and online as well. I’m sure we will see a lot of people sporting their favourite MINIONS X WROGN t-shirts soon.”
“The WROGN x Minions collection taps into the mischevious nature of Illumination’s Minions, delivering a playful and stylish collection for fans of both brands,” said Marc Low, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Global Lifestyle at Universal Brand Development.
