Balenciaga: Return of the Jedi
I’ve been publishing images of various fashion phenomena on my Facebook for a while now. However THIS created such a great disturbance in The Force that I thought it worth of sharing on blog too. Behold, Star Wars fans!
I understand the fashion world is obsessed over hats. I also understand it is difficult to come up with something new every season. We have already witnessed Anna Sui cat hats, Thakoon’s bi-colored hats, Miu Miu’s turbans… but Balenciaga?! “Nicolas! Nicolas, don’t — it’s a trap! It’s a trap!” Too late… he is on the dark side now. You can’t trick us by wearing clashing prints instead of traditional black cape either. We know WHO you are – Darth Vader!
In fact, I think Star Wars would benefit from re-making the scene where the Dark Lord revealed his face. Seriously, who cares about some wrinkled white-faced guy with exaggerated under eye dark circles? Show us his legs! That would be a real controversy.
May the Force be with you this Sunday, dear reader…

awesome haha!
I love Star Wars, brilliant post!
Those hats are really interesting.
reminds me so much of my hair now. haha!
This is awesome! And oh so true :)
Ha! Yes, I think I’ll be giving this one a miss too… although I used to have the most sublime cashmere double breasted full length coat with a whopping great hood that did look a little Obi Wan Kenobi in the right light… So maybe what I’m saying is that Starwars can sometimes work?

LINKS À LA MODE: Cool Weather Brings Haute Fashion…
Cooler weather has made it’s way in and it leaves me feeling a definitive need to dress up lavishly. Some girls have been frocked fancifully for the entire month of Dressember. I think it’s important to make the effort……
I’ve personally always thought Darth Vader is the best-dressed of all the characters. I mean, black is such a classic!
Hilarious! I’m a Star Wars fan (the original trilogy, not the more recent ones). Darth would have completely destroyed the runways, seeing his helmet likenesses on it!

LOL! That’s really funny!
I suppose it’s like capes – sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes and villains ^_^

Since Balenciaga had all his inspiration from the outfits of the fisherman in the village in Spain, where he came from, the question is: did Darth Vader like fishing?
