Leave it to the Mulleavy sisters Kate and Laura, founders and owners of New York-based fashion label Rodarte, to liven up New York fashion week with their sarcastic yet elegant take on womenswear: their AW14-15 ready-to-wear collection was directly inspired by director George Lucas’s first Star Wars trilogy and featured prints of all the icons – Luke Skywalker, C-3PO and Yoda – on lightly draped dresses. It was clear that the sisters’ woman was a Parisian version of Princess Leia with access to extravagant and shiny fabrics, excellent heels and a better hair stylist.
