UNIQLO Star Wars T-Shirt collection: Let’s get geeky!

Why we love it:

As much as we are excited about H&M’s latest collaboration aka #HMBalmaination to hit the stores next November, truth be told, we’re even more psyched about a closer launch coming this Friday – i.e. UNIQLO‘s Star Wars T-shirt collection.

Yes, we might not look it but we’re as geek(y) on the inside as we are chic on the outside.

The Japanese giant retailer whose name is synonymous with cool graphic T-shirts is launching a collection of 23 UTs featuring the winning designs of the Star Wars-themed UT Grand Prix 2015 T-Shirt design competition held earlier this year.

Out of a record 5,218 entries, the judges picked these 23 designs which will be available to buy from June 5th onwards.

Aside from the cool and fresh take on the iconic characters (how cute does R2-D2 look?), we love the variety which the collection offers in terms of graphic styles and tones that will undoubtedly please all Star Wars fans out there.

Our one complaint is that these T-shirts come only in Men’s and Kid’s sizes leaving us no choice but to squeeze into the later and use the same old ‘it shrunk in the washing’ excuse if anyone notices.

Princess Leia would approve, don’t you think?

Where to buy it:

UNIQLO’s Star Wars UT T-shirt collection is available at all UNIQLO’s outlets and online from June 5, 2015.

Also, if you fancy winning real-size figurines of 3-CPO, R2-D2 and Captain Rex, instagram a photo of yourself in a Star Wars UT with the hashtags #uniqlosg & #uniqlostarwars from June 5 until June 21 to take part in the contest.

Don’t miss Uniqlo & Inès de la Fressange new Autumn-Winter collection on Be Asia.
