“Vader Wool Scarf Midnight” by Emma J Shipley ASGFA

Emma J Shipley has joined forces with LucasFilm to produce a unisex six piece collection made out of lightweight cotton, modal blend scarves along with wool square shapes and a long style that can be wrapt around for chillier weathers.

Fusing the adventures and battles between good and evil from Star Wars with Emma J Shipley’s storytelling and detailed hand drawings results in colours found in the original films with flashes of colour taken from space explosions along with the colour themes from Star Wars film posters from the late 70s and early 80s. The scarves are adorned with hand drawn images portraying Darth Vader in silhouette morphing into the Death Star, filled with Storm Troupers and Space Ships from the classic films, including TIE fights, the Millennium Falcon and X-Wings.  The imagery surrounding is a montage of planets and explosions taken from the original film stills.  Each artwork is intricately hand drawn in pencil, before being printed onto the finest Italian fabrics and finished by hand. The scarves themselves are timeless, collectible pieces to be treasured for years to come.

The collaboration will be launching mid-late October and available at Selfridges London, Ikram – US and online at EmmaJShipley.com
