Dover Street Market Star Wars Window — **Comme des Garçons Shirt x Star Wars Window, designed by Rei Kawakubo**

The only thing important to me is making clothes.” (Rei Kawabuko, founder Comme des Garçons)

I’ve already mentioned my love of Comme des Garçons to you in a past post (here!). And, now that LM and I are definitely tootling off to Paris and London in September for a wee sojourn, I can really let loose on my retail fantasy world (because usually I am so circumspect about it, yes?). I gotta’ say, Dover Street Market is pretty high on my list (along with Liberty, Deyrolle, Epice), if for nothing else than to salivate over the ever-so-stylish wares.

The latest launch is the Comme des Garçons Shirt x Star Wars collaboration. It features iconic imagery from the legendary films. I’m really quite interested in having a look-see at the collection (despite not being a massive Star Wars fan). I find it an interesting partnership – I was 9 when the first Star Wars film was released, which makes me old, so there is a definite retro feel to this range.

Flicking through the Dover Street Market web-site, there are a few wee bits ‘n’ bobs I’m keen to see…

And, I didn’t even get started on the mens selection.

Ahhh, SSFAM… honestly? – I don’t really feel old BUT I know for a fact the teenager thinks I am ancient! I guess it’s all relative.
I am just the teensiest bit excited about the September trip! 🙂

OK now you are really rubbing it in…. is their any room for me to come with you??? I love the Marimekko top – I have to admit I have never watched Star Wars – I think that makes me a rare commodity!

I think you are #3 in the queue to squeeze into my suitcase, BCD. Trouble is, I may be able to get you over there, but my suitcase will likely be too full to get you back again…
