50 Cent is out and George Lucas is in.
Tired hip-hop fashion designer Marc Ecko is hoping to reinvigorate interest among the audiences he’s alienated with his corny G-Unit lines by tapping into a universal theme that very cool and very nerdy consumers can both stand proudly behind: Star Wars.
Ecko will be releasing a line of Star Wars inspired apparel, mostly t-shirts and hoodies, that feature beloved characters form the original trilogy. The shirts have some really appealing all-over prints, and some of them have sort of tacky but somehow still cool beaded portraits of Yoda, Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper.
Speaking of Boba Fett, you’ve got to check out the Fett hoodie. It has one of those weird hoods that cover your whole head, completing the bounty hunter look. All these items will be available at high end and specialty stores over the holidays, and hopefully will help Marc Ecko claw his way out of the bargain bins at Macy’s once again.
