Miraculous Corp announced a collaboration with Universidad Jannette Klein (Mexico) to expand its Global Fashion Strategy.
Miraculous Corp is expanding its global fashion and design strategy through a collaboration with Universidad Jannette Klein, one of Mexico’s leading fashion-focused educational institutions. Following the first announced partnership with ESMOD Paris, the collaboration marks another step in establishing fashion as a key pillar of the Miraculous® brand.
Inspired by Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the fashion-loving protagonist of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, the broader strategy aims to transform her passion for design into a global platform for emerging creative talent, creating opportunities for designers, licensees and retailers through education, creative collaborations, consumer products and retail experiences.
Universidad Jannette Klein’s understanding of evolving cultural trends, consumer preferences, and the commercial fashion landscape makes it an ideal strategic partner for Miraculous Corp, fostering creative experimentation while preparing emerging designers to navigate the fashion industry. Combining fashion design, visual marketing and merchandising, the program gives students practical experience translating entertainment IP into fashion concepts, lifestyle products and retail experiences.
The Universidad Jannette Klein collaboration enters its academic phase this fall with eighth-semester students developing original fashion collections, products, and visual merchandising concepts inspired by the Miraculous universe. Students will present their completed concepts to Miraculous Corp at the end of the year ahead of a January 2027 runway presentation at Intermoda in Guadalajara, one of Latin America’s leading fashion trade shows. Eight designers will showcase editorial fashion proposals inspired by Miraculous, highlighting the brand’s fashion and lifestyle potential for retailers and industry professionals.
Reflecting Miraculous Corp’s creativity without boundaries philosophy, the collaboration encourages designers to reinterpret the Miraculous universe through their own creative perspectives. The initiative also connects with young adults who have grown up with Miraculous over the past decade, allowing the brand to evolve alongside its audience.
Angela Cortez, Vice President of Consumer Products for Latin America and U.S. Hispanic Retail at Miraculous Corp:
This collaboration represents an exciting opportunity to continue advancing Miraculous in fashion and lifestyle, while giving emerging creative talent a space to reinterpret the brand through their own vision and local cultural perspective. We are excited to connect with a generation that has grown up with these characters and support the creation of proposals that reflect their talent and connection to the brand.
Jannette Klein, Rector of Universidad Jannette Klein:
“With four decades of experience training high-level professionals for the creative industries, Jannette Klein University (UJK) is one of Mexico’s most recognized institutions specialized in fashion education. Its academic offerings comprise three bachelor’s degrees: Fashion Design and Advertising; Fashion Styling and Strategic Image Design and Fashion Marketing and Advertising. Being an alumni at UJK is distinguished by its MAKERS philosophy “ideas gain value when they become tangible” a hands-on learning approach that drives students to research, experiment, create, build, and solve challenges through projects connecting creativity with the real needs of the industry.”
Following Intermoda, Miraculous Corp plans to explore partnerships with fashion retailers in Mexico to develop selected student proposals into a commercial collection featuring the participating designers’ names, creating new licensing and retail opportunities for the brand.
