Special Projects — marshallcolumbia.portfolio

Through collaborations with brands such as Disney, Hello Kitty, Cash App, and Melissa, I’ve been able to push my vision further — designing products and directing campaigns that bring the playful world of Marshall Columbia to new audiences.

Melissa x Marshall Columbia

The Melissa × Marshall Columbia collaboration reinvented the iconic jelly shoe through a playful, sculptural lens. The collection introduced two modular styles — a clog and a boot that could be converted into a clog — each offered in four bold colorways. Made from Melissa’s signature Melflex® PVC, the pieces combine comfort with elevated experimentation, featuring woven-inspired detailing and rounded, bubbled silhouettes true to the Marshall Columbia aesthetic.

Cash App x Marshall Columbia

The Cash App × Marshall Columbia Pink Capsule transformed finance-brand minimalism into bold lifestyle fashion. Launched in Fall 2023 as part of Cash App’s “Pink Drop,” the capsule fused practical utility with the cheerful, subversive voice of Marshall Columbia — delivering limited-edition pieces like hoodies, cargo pants, plush wallets, a puffy handbag, a skateboard deck, and accessories, all drenched in Cash-card pink. Alongside the apparel and accessories, the collaboration rolled out a special-edition Pink Cash Card customized with Marshall Columbia’s signature graphics — butterflies, snails, flowers, hearts, and more — turning a mundane financial tool into a playful fashion statement.

Hello Kitty x Marshall Columbia

The Hello Kitty × Marshall Columbia collaboration celebrated Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary through a nostalgic yet distinctly grown-up lens. Marshall Columbia designed three variations of his signature Poppy purse featuring Kuromi, Keroppi, and Hello Kitty, along with four plush wallets inspired by My Melody, Hello Kitty, LittleTwinStars, and Keroppi, and a limited-edition Hello Kitty silk scarf. The capsule reimagined beloved Sanrio characters through Columbia’s playful, sculptural aesthetic — merging childhood joy with bold, collectible accessories built for a new generation of fans.

Disney x Marshall Columbia

The Disney × Marshall Columbia capsule — created in honor of Disney’s 100th Anniversary — reimagines a childhood classic through the rebellious, street-wise lens of Marshall Columbia. The collection features playful, “under-the-sea” and ’90s-nostalgia inspired pieces: think strappy underwater-themed dresses, leggings that evoke mermaid tails, rhinestone-shell baby tees, ruffled mini-skirts, silk scarves printed with Ariel, starfish and shell-embellished cropped hoodies, and vibrant versions of Marshall Columbia’s signature bags complete with character keychains. Rather than a naive tribute, the collection channels a grown-up, Brooklyn-baddie energy: Ariel is reimagined as an adult — confident, street-smart, loaded with attitude, ready for everyday life beyond her fairy-tale world. The capsule transforms nostalgic Disney iconography into bold, wearable fashion — turning childhood memories into a statement of identity, confidence, and playful rebellion.
