01star-wars-hoodies-by-thinkgeek
Forget *Star Wars* logo tees. Although pop culture mashups with high fashion aren't exactly unheard of, something about the aesthetics and iconography of the *Star Wars* universe has proved particularly well-suited to the world of designer apparel and accessories in recent years, inspiring collaborations with international brands like BAPE, trompe-l'oeil "costume" apparel by Marc Ecko, luxury watches, Slave Leia-themed hightops and even custom R2-D2 wedding rings. As our week of *Star Wars*-themed content continues at Wired, we've selected some of the most stylish and inspired apparel and accessories from the wider world of *Star Wars* fashion. __Above: *Star Wars* Hoodies by Thinkgeek \---------------------------------------__ The real trick of the *Star Wars* hoodies by Thinkgeek isn't that they advertise your love of Boba Fett and Stormtroopers; it's that they actually turn you into [Boba Fett](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ea40/) or a [Stormtrooper](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ead1/) -- if you're willing to commit to the full over-the-face zip.

__Limited Edition Luxury *Star Wars* Watches by Seiko__ ------------------------------------------------------- Seiko's limited edition series of *Star Wars* watches is not for the frugal, at a price of around $1,800 (after converting from yen to U.S. dollars). Each watch in the Brightz line has its own distinctive elements; the R2D2 version (appropriately) has a high-res digital interface; the Darth Maul watch features dramatic, red Roman numerals on the watch face while the Yoda and C-3PO iterations are tinted green and gold respectively. And while you may not be able to read the [Japanese website](http://www.seiko-watch.co.jp/bz/starwars/index.php) for the designer timepieces, trust us -- it's a worth clicking over for the web design alone.

__BAPE x *Star Wars*__ ---------------------- The recent collaborations between *Star Wars* and BAPE (a.k.a. the trendy Japanese clothing company A Bathing Ape) produced not only a [charming line of t-shirts](http://www.bape.com/sw) that integrated their simian mascot into iconic *Star Wars* scenes from the maw of the sarlacc to the Mos Eisley cantina, but also [hoodies, tote bags and knick-kacks](http://www.bape.com/sw2) mashing up the iconic film with their cartoony style.

__"I Know" Han and Leia-Inspired Rings__ ---------------------------------------- The classic exchange between Princess Leia ("I Iove you!") and about-to-be-frozen-in-carbonite Han Solo ("I know") gets immortalized in a pair of his and her sterling silver engagement rings by Swankmetalsmithing that feature rubies, sapphires, and the most romantic of all orbital battle stations, the Death Star.
12darth-maul-hoodie-by-marc-ecko
__Darth Maul Hoodie by Mark Ecko__ ---------------------------------- While Marc Ecko's line of *Star Wars*-themed clothing isn't the only one out there to walk the line between fashion and cosplay (see: Thinkgeek) but the vengeful face of this Darth Maul hoodie remains far and away the most terrifying visage in the world of *Star Wars* fashion.
