What Star Wars characters would wear if they wore NZ fashion: a tongue in cheek stylish interpretation of characters in The Force Awakens all in designs by New Zealand fashion labels.

FIRST UP…

THE LIGHT SIDE

Daisy Ridley stars as the kick-ass scavenger Rey who is strong in the fashion force. Rey would definitely dress in Zambesi. Their fluid drapery and muted palette would suit her desert chic look.

Harrison Ford as Han Solo wears his classic look with only his vest changing into a jacket complete with shell cases as accessories. He wears a white collared shirt and olive narrow trousers with a gun holster brown belt. I’m going to dress Han in Rodd & Gunn.

John Boyega as stormtrooper Finn wears his Stormtrooper civvies from under his armour and a fighter pilot’s old jacket. We can see him in an oilskin jacket and longsleeve top, all by Barkers.

Oscar Isaac as X-Wing pilot Poe Dameron gets a fashion makeover in this yellow jumpsuit and Nirvana dress in peach, both by Miss Crabb.

THE DARK SIDE

These dark, and naughty Kylo Ren-inspired looks are all by Trelise Cooper.

The General’s slick suited look with black leather gloves will be repped here by that great NZ suit brand, Working Style.

Woman in Bar (I don’t know her real name sadly) sympathised with the Dark Side and communicated the good guys were there. She has a very strong brow game, a dark lip, and an optical illusion shirt with tight leather pants and a black hood.

Hope you enjoyed my Star Wars-inspired fashion piece as much as I did making it. Have you seen The Force Awakens? What did you think of the film?
