Fashion Meets Nerd Culture - ABC News

When sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, creators of the fashion label Rodarte, debuted a collection of Star Wars-inspired gowns at New York Fashion Week last week, the unexpected collaboration immediately sent couture tongues wagging.


The dresses featured the images of Luke Skywalker, C-3PO and R2-D2, Jedi master Yoda, the twin suns of Tattooine and a half-completed Death Star as the finale to the Fall 2014 show. But it appears the collection was only the beginning of light-sabered love affair between designers and George Lucas this year.


On Sunday, British fashion label Preen unveiled a series of dresses at London Fashion Week with none other than the villain Darth Vader's face emblazoned across the front.


While there is no confirmation as to whether Chewbacca will make an appearance in Paris sometime soon, other instances of nerd culture on runways have been increasingly apparent in recent years.
