Star Wars fashion by Marc Ecko
2010 will be the year Star Wars gets fashionable again with major ‘fashion’ brands like Adidas picking up the license for its line of sneakers and apparels. One other clothing brand that also bought into the franchise but didn’t quite get the same publicity especially in this part of Asia is Marc Ecko. When I first heard that Adidas was doing Star Wars, I was really hoping that they’ll make Sith or Jedi-inspired hoodies and by accident (I’d rather think it was The Force at work) I found out that Marc Ecko have already beat them to it, and did a pretty damn good job too. The Darth Maul hoodie is my personal favourite - the definitive Sith gangsta street fashion or a super geek suit, depending on how you look at it - where the wearer can literally become Darth Maul by zipping the hood all the way to form a full-face mask. On top of that there’s a second hood to complete the transformation. Simply awesome. Scored mine from eBay cause Marc Ecko’s online store doesn’t ship outside the US. How much did it cost?
Priceless.
