Dark Side Cooking Covers

Haute Mess Threads' Star Wars Aprons Bring the Force to Your Kitchen

— January 25, 2012 — Lifestyle
Geeks may one day inherit the Earth, but they have already taken control of the kitchen as evidenced by these Star Wars aprons. These aprons were designed by Etsy crafter Haute Mess Threads and come in two styles: R2-D2 and Darth Vader.

These two aprons are both fashionable (for geeks) and functional as they include two pockets perfect for holding utensils and other goodies. Even if you aren't a whiz in the kitchen, Haute Mess Threads recommends wearing these Star Wars aprons as costumes to conventions or parties. Both aprons look awesome, but I would have to give the edge to the R2-D2 apron simply because I love the blue and white color scheme. Each apron is handmade and sells for $55 each.
Trend Themes
1. Geek-fashion Fusion - The rise of geek-themed fashion accessories opens up opportunities for creating unique, stylish pieces that cater to niche interests.
2. Functional Novelty - Combining functionality and novelty, there is room for innovation in creating everyday items that serve a practical purpose while adding a touch of fun and personal expression.
3. Cosplay-inspired Everyday Wear - The popularity of cosplay culture paves the way for creating apparel that draws inspiration from beloved characters and universes, allowing fans to express their fandom in their everyday lives.
Industry Implications
