Just ahead of the latest Star Wars film, Disney Consumer Products and Bloomingdale's have teamed together for the Force 4 Fashion fundraising initiative. This charitable sci-fi event will be auctioning off Star Wars-themed couture designed by 10 of the industry's biggest designers.
The designers chosen for this implication are Cynthia Rowley, Diane von Furstenberg, Giles, Halston, Opening Ceremony, Ovadia & Sons, Parker, Rag & Bone, Timo Weiland and Todd Snyder. Each designer created two Star Wars outfits, one for the auction and one of the Bloomingdale's store windows. Each look brilliantly portrays the brand's aesthetic while also serving a galactic flair consumers will be able to recognize and associate with the Star Wars saga.
The looks will be revealed at the Force 4 Fashion launch event with all proceeds going to the Child Mind Institute.
