Disney and Bloomingdale’s are joining forces to create a fashion line based off the upcoming “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” which will then be auctioned off for charity.
The new “Force 4 Fashion” line is inspired by the film’s costume designer, Michael Kaplan.
“This collaboration celebrates the distinctive synergy between film and fashion in the run up to an exceptional moment in the history of pop culture. We’re excited to see how this incredible lineup of designers interpret Star Wars characters in unique ways, as well as to raise money for a great cause,” Leslie Ferraro, Co-Chair, Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media and President, Disney Consumer Products, said in a press release.
Cynthia Rowley, Diane von Furstenberg, Giles Deacon, Halston, Opening Ceremony, Ovadia & Sons, Parker, Rag & Bone, Timo Weiland and Todd Snyder will each create an outfit to be auctioned for charity.
The designers’ looks will be revealed at a “Force 4 Fashion” launch event in New York City on Dec. 2 before going on display in Bloomingdale’s NYC flagship windows the following day.
Outfits will then be auctioned off Dec. 2- to Dec. 18 by Bloomingdale’s on CharityBuzz.com, with the proceeds benefiting Child Mind Institute. Michael Kaplan will also design three, limited edition “little brown bag” reusable totes, to be sold at Bloomingdale’s.
