Style Wars

June 21st, 2010

In a galaxy not so far away, artist John Woo transforms Darth Vader and the Emperor’s Stormtroopers and bounty hunters into a bunch of fashionable (and non-threatening) gents.

Painted in watercolour and acrylics, Woo’s series, He Wears It, has Darth donning Band of Outsiders, Jango Fett in Comme des Garçons, Scout Trooper in Viktor & Rolf, Boba Fett in Supreme, Clone Trooper in A.P.C., and Stormtrooper in Thom Browne. As during Phantom Menace, we’re a little put off by the addition of Jar Jar Binks, but we’ll admit he does look smart in Maison Martin Margiela.
