LOS ANGELES -- Disney is expanding on its global brand by launching a YouTube travel and fashion series called Destination: Disney Style.
The five part original series follows YouTube influencers LaurDIY, Jaleesa Moses, Meredith Foster and Lucy & Lydia as they travel across the globe to show fans a glimpse of recent international Disney collaborations, street style and trends in multiple fashion capitals.
"We've been looking at how Disney fans have been embracing everyday street style and we wanted to bring those stories to life," Dan Reynolds, VP of Content, Social and Programming at Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media, told Mashablein a phone interview. "It's to help our fans get more inspiration and have our audience really be a part of the conversation. We looked at who from an influencer standpoint we could get on board to help us find these amazing street fashions...people who already had brought Disney into their programming naturally because we wanted it to feel natural."
Episode one, which debuted Tuesday, kicks off with LaurDIY in Tokyo, where she goes to Disney Expo Japan, Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea plus explores the way the renowned Harajuki Girls incorporate Disney into their Tokyo street style looks.

And people grew up with Disney, they have nostalgia for it."
