How has unicorn fashion invaded children's daily lives?

An unpromising start gave way to a galloping ascent

The unicorn has an ancient origin. Yes, it was the Greek physician Ctesias of Persia, around the sixth century B.C., who evoked the creature for the first time. It depicts an animal living in India, which resembles a donkey and has a horn in the middle of its forehead. This description of what must have been a rhinoceros would be transformed over the centuries.

"There is the unicorn, a very fierce beast, with a horse's bodice, a stag's head, an elephant's foot, a boar's tail, a big bellow with a black horn... Pliny the Elder in his work natural history

In the Middle Ages, it was part of the Physiologus, a Christian bestiary that presents each animal with a moralizing text. The unicorn is portrayed as ferocious and difficult to capture.

Called monoceros or unicornis in biblical texts, it is considered either fearsome and dangerous or gentle and peaceful. Did you know that she was depicted as an exotic animal in Noah's Ark?

Little by little, the unicorn will acquire new virtues in the collective imagination. It becomes horse-like, white and pure, as shown by the famous The Lady and the Unicorn.

In the mid-nineteenth century, a reward was promised to the first explorer to bring back the animal. It was only after this period of colonization that the belief in the existence of the species disappeared.

From movies to licensed toys, the unicorn is gradually making its way into children's lives

The unicorn is now considered a fantastical creature. She deserted scientific books to tell her story in many literary works. The writers Flaubert and Lewis Carroll (author ofAlice in Wonderland) and more recently the novelist ofHarry Potter namely J. K. Rowling, take up the legendary animal in their stories.

In the 1980s, the film The Last Unicorn Adapted from Peter Soyer's novel of the same name, Beagle tells the story of a horned horse with magical powers. A fantastic fairytale adventure that appeals to young and old alike.

✨At the same time, TF1 broadcasts in France My Little Pony. A series based on licensed toys My Little Pony (ponies of all colors to style) from the Hasbro company that features sweet little horses and unicorns in an enchanted universe. It's a hit with the younger generation!

A few years later, the unicorn resurfaced in the animated film Despicable and Wicked Me by Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin. A film that features the Funny yellow creatures called minions ! And it's Agnès, a clever 6-year-old orphan girl who brings the animal to the skies through Fluffy, a stuffed animal won at a funfair. The latter is imposing, white and pink: all children want the same!

It is from this moment that unicorn fashion will really and sustainably take hold.

Unicorn licenses and shops cement the mystical creature's success

The unicorn has become so popular with all generations that many licenses will take over the phenomenon. Disney Fisher Price, Hello Kitty, etc. feature products featuring the effigy of the legendary beast.

School luggage brands like Cybel celebrate the mythical animal. It also interfered in boys' licenses: the Pokemon Galopa did not take long to make its appearance...

The success is such that shops, both physical and online, entirely dedicated to the unicorn are flourishing.
