Giles Deacon, Furstenberg, Cynthia Rowley and others are creating stunning ‘Star Wars’ inspired outfits


Star Wars: The Force Awakens has given every promise of being a movie that will have audiences at the edge of their seat. The tantalizing trailer has spawned endless speculation about the plot and everyone is waiting to see what happens next. Star Wars mania has also hit Bloomingdale’s store in New York as five of the flagship store’s windows will be dressed with costumes and props from the much anticipated movie. Each scene is centered on a key location from the movie. Later in the season on Dec. 3, the window dressings will be changed to a series of “Stars Wars: The Force Awakens” looks created by 10 fashion designers, these outfits will be auctioned off for charity.

The designer looks will first be showcased at an event called “Force 4 Fashion” presented by Kay Jewelers and CoverGirl in Chelsea in New York on December 2. The very next day these creations will grace the windows of Bloomingdales.

The proceeds will benefit Child Mind Institute which aims to find more effective treatments for childhood psychiatric and learning disorders. Michael Kaplan, the movie’s costume designer, has also designed three “little brown bag” reusable tote bags inspired by “The Force Awakens.” The limited edition carryalls will be available exclusively at Bloomingdale’s and a portion of the sale price will be donated to the Child Mind Institute.
