Fashion In 50 Seconds 02/18/09 Armani Donates A Million Dollars & More

In honor of the opening of his Fifth Avenue store, Armani is making a donation of one million dollars to The Fund For Public Schools... The designer also blogged for New York Times' The Moment and covered such topics as clubbing in the Mepa and the difference between American and European window treatments.  Andre Leon Talley acted a true gentlemen at yesterday's Tracy Reese show, refusing to push anyone out of the fully seated front row.  Ecko going out of business?

Ecko going out of business? Well, they're definitely not opening that mega-flagship they've been paying rent on for four years

Darth Vader Tattoo Design T-Shirt: Love It or Leave It?

Marc Ecko is really establishing himself as the mainstream go-to for Star Wars apparel, after having introduced the Boba Fett Hoodie and Storm Trooper Hoodie.

And he's not content to stop there. There's a whole SW shop up — with one of my favorite new pieces being this Darth Vader T-Shirt with a tattoo-inspired design ($34). It's sort of Ed Hardy meets Star Wars, and the intersection is so fun and kitschy, I think I might be into it.

It's definitely a way I've never seen Luke's father — but is that a good or bad thing?

Boba Fett Hoodie: Storm the Grocery Store

I have a sneaking suspicion that hoodie-type of girls are also Star Wars type of girls, which is good news for the maker of this Boba Fett Hoodie (although $98.

Maybe put your boyfriend in this one, you in the Storm Trooper Hoodie, and just see what kind of looks you get toolin' around town running your errands.

Looks of fear, I'd assume.

Trend Alert: Caped Crusaders

I have one friend who always loved capes.

I have one friend who always loved capes. She sported an awesome black vintage one in the dead of winter before they were even trendy — though they are sort of classic — and she looked immaculate. She would wear it with black skinnies and vintage shoes, to give the cape some street cred. So, for those not ready to be a caped crusader you can do as my friend did or go minimal like at Jil Sander. Or, you can make up a mysterious look all your own — always encouraged.
