Hasta La Gadget!

Need some new, high fashion clothes? New York Fashion Week has you covered. Check out these Star Wars outfits seen here modeled by a group of women who don’t look like they’ve eaten a decent meal since 1999. These Star Wars dresses are designed by fashion house Rodarte.

They are floor-length embroidered gowns featuring the printed likenesses of Luke Skywalker, Master Yoda, C-3PO and R2-D2, Tatooine and the Death Star. Personally, I prefer my X-Wing Fighters going down a Death Star trench, not a runway in New York, but more Star Wars clothes are always welcome, I suppose.

Great show, girls. Now go eat a cracker or two. And just because you regurgitate every meal, that doesn’t mean that you get to be the Sarlacc Pit. Modeling is so silly.

We’ve seen some pretty cool Doctor Who themed cosplay outfits in the past, including Dalek and Tardis dresses. The catch was those costumes were homemade. If you lack the time or skills to make your own stuff, we have the outfit for you.

ThinkGeek has rolled out a Doctor Who costume that requires no effort on your part, other than perhaps talking your girlfriend into wearing the dress if you’re buying it as a gift. The Gold Dalek A-Line Dress is strapless, short, and fitted in just the right places. It’s perfect for walking around and saying “The Daleks Survive in Me!”

It sells for $44.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek, but is currently on sale for just $33.74

The Star Wars opening crawl. It changed movies and the world forever. To this day I perk up when I hear John Williams title theme, just like a geeky trained dog. That text changed the lives of many humans. And now I present the Star Wars opening crawl dress.

It was spotted by the folks at Her Universe. You might also notice that it has a matching purse and a Death Star hat with a TIE Fighter. This Dragon Con attendee did an amazing job on it. One has to wonder how many marriage proposals she got that day.

Too bad girls can’t buy one for themselves. It looks awesome.

Other than lasers and Elon Musk, magnets might be the most superhuman objects we have on this dear Earth of ours. They can make things fly, they can make things stick, they can demolish laptops, they can make you squeal and scream and feel like a kid. Another thing magnets can do? Make clothes. The two dresses above were "grown" using magnets.

You are what you wear. Sometimes, you can send the loudest of messages without saying a single word. You can let your clothes do all the talking instead.

For example, take the Twitter Dress developed by creative agency Deportivo. This isn’t the first dress that displays tweets, although it’s the first one that’s political in nature.

The dress was created to help Sweden’s youth get their voices heard at Almedalen Week, which is an annual political summit where thousands of politicians, celebrities, and PR people will converge to attend seminars, discuss issues, and talk politics. Deportivo worked with youth organization Crossing Borders in the creation of the dress, which you can see in action in the Vine animation below:

Crossing Borders recruited 30 “ambassadors” to wear the dress before the summit began. Their goal was to get the organization’s concerns out there by catching the attention of people who can actually do something about it – in this case, the people in attendance at Almedalen.

After the summit, Deportivo’s Stefan Ronge reported: “The Twitter Dress got a pledge from the minister of equality, Maria Arnholm, on addressing the issue of mandatory education on gender equality for Swedish teachers.”
