Book Description:
While the Star Wars saga is famous for its
elaborate sets and for revolutionary visual effects, it
also features some of the most unique and ornate
costumes in modern film. In this exquisite volume, the
intricate and beautiful fashions that have appeared in
all six Star Wars films are on display-from
military gear to royal gowns and the iconic garbs of
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader. Every costume is
brilliantly displayed in intimate detail, from
preproduction sketches to the final creations. Actors,
including Natalie Portman and Samuel L. Jackson, provide
commentary on their experiences during principal
photography, while writer-director George Lucas and
producer Rick McCallum contribute their thoughts on this
exploration of Star Wars costume design.
Accompanied by an exhibition at the The Fashion
Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) Museum
& Galleries at FIDM in Los Angeles, this unique
visual treat is a must-have for any Star Wars
fan.
