Force Fashions at Urban Outfitters

April 4, 2006

Yoda, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Jabba the Hutt, and an Imperial stormtrooper get a fun contemporary spin thanks to a new line of Star Wars fashion T-shirts from Chunk, one of the leading producers of stylish streetwear, launching exclusively at Urban Outfitters in the UK.

The designs include Darth Vader advertising anger management classes, Yoda promoting his intergalactic tour, Jabba the Hutt showing off his Barry White style greatest hits album, and Chewbacca selling Wookiee hair products.

"We had the idea some time ago and when we approached Lucasfilm about having some fun with these classic images they were very receptive," Chunk managing director Pete Crispin says. "They allowed us the creative freedom to do what we wanted which is key to what we do. The designs are great and they also tap into the retro sensibility that features across many of our lines."

Chunk is looking to expand the line later in the year onto polo shirts and other apparel.
