Star Wars on the catwalk: $159,000 robot leggings

Since when did catwalk models start dressing like robots from Star Wars? At first glance, this might look like an uber-nerdy sci-fi fashion convention, but the photo is from an honest-to-goodness runway show. Industry big wigs who attended the event called the looks "edgy, aggressive and urban," but I think most normal people can agree this woman looks half hipster, half C-3PO (the whiny British robot from Episodes IV, V and VI who was always scared he was going to die).

Other designs in the collection look like Stormtroopers (the dudes in white outfits who worked for Darth Vader), the Terminator, and the outfits from Tron.

Top 5 Weirdest Fashions

(click thumbnails to view gallery)

  • Dress Made from Human Hair
  • Osama Bin Laden Levis
  • Alcohol Monitoring Bracelet -- On the Runway!
  • Bikini Made From Fish
  • Crazy Hair-Dos

Ever since the rise of blogging, social media, etc, it's been cool to be a nerd -- but this is taking geek chic to a whole new level. May The Force be with you if you try dressing like this in public.

its called fashion.
get over it. just because you can't understand the art behind it does not mean you have to criticize it. duh, im not gonna wear this for a night on the town, but thats why its called cotoure, not every-day clothing wear.

But it's Balenciaga!
Whatever Nicholas says is hot, I will agree, even if it looks like C-3PO

i agree with sam. also think about the fact that these fashions usually
arent supposed to be taken so literal.

fashion isnt just what you wear, its art.
