Made from 100% local Malawi cotton by artisans of the Malawi Council of the Handicapped, known as MaCoHa, these stunning tunics help lift communities.

For that friend or relative with slightly geeky tendencies, there's a line of shirt that uses the force to fight cancer.

Fashion Fights Cancer's (FFC) mission is to nurture the minds, bodies and souls of cancer patients and survivors through fashion and design. And turn something painful into something beautiful through which we can support the cause.

How this shirt works: Give children in the rainforest school supplies. They draw what they see around them. Interpret those drawings into T-shirts. Like this one by a 9-year-old Peruvian girl that sees trees crying and fish dying because the forest is being logged and oil is pouring into their water source. Plus, for every shirt you buy, they plant a tree in an endangered part of the world.

NYC's top designers like Proenza Schouler, Eddie Borgo, Yigal Azrouël and others, have teamed up with local Mexican artisans to turn their handmade textiles into one-of-a-kind designs we love.

Jedidiah has teamed up with Stand Up for Kids this holiday season, which helps homeless teens in cities across the country. Each line Jedidiah creates benefits a different organization, spreading the wealth and love through fashion.

Taking a note out of TOMS' book, there's another one-for-one company set up to give shoes to kids in need for every shoe or shirt you buy from them. This company, however, gives sandals as they believe they last longer than other kinds of shoes.

With the Community Collection, designers open mini stores that sell their wares for a charity of their choice. Like Lulu Frost who is giving proceeds to Pencils for Promise, which builds schools in developing countries and encourages young leaders to take action.

If you see Hans Solo, tell him to keep his Hans where I can see ‘em please.

These paper snowflakes were created when a father noticed his son was making paper crafts that look like a bunch of Stormtroopers. Star Wars and the holidays. Together again. Click here for a tutorial on how to create your own Vader Snowflakes.

Really wish they taught us how to make these in The Star Wars Holiday special. All we got out of that shit was a Wookie Reunion.

Authentic Marc Jacobs CHEWBACCA hair-on satachel. M Jacobs partners with Evil Empire to bring you the galaxy’s hottest handbags.

Marc Jacobs is clearly an innovator. But did you know he is bananas for Star Wars?

For his latest handbag installment, Jacobs scoured the outer galaxies finally landing in the nether regions of Naboo to obtain the ultimate satchel medium: WOOKIE FUR!!

Available at a space retailer near you for remarkably low £37 solar shillings.

Matching the Conductor Hi that we presented earlier, adidas Originals and Star Wars present the Super Death Star Stormtrooper varsity jacket. The graphics and patches on the jacket, as well as the overall choice of color, perfectly go inline with the high top sneaker. The items will release simultaneously in the coming weeks.

More detailed images of the jacket follow after the jump.

LINK LOVE:adidas Originals x Star Wars Fall/Winter 2010 “Super Death Star” Stormtrooper Varsity Jacket

Artist John Woo has somehow managed to combine two of my most favorite things in the world, fashion and Star Wars. I’m praying a designer takes note and we see some Leih in Slave Outfit hitting the runways of Chanel…

This happens to be one of my favorite Star Wars scenes  and by some kind of movie magic they included David Beckham and Snoop Dogg.

The force was definitely not with me that night. I couldn’t even get her to engage my lightsaber.

I returned home and went at it Han Solo. Good thing though, her Sarlac pit was hairier than a Wookie.

Facehunter spotted this little Parisian giving us her best Princess Leia shout-out. I don’t know who she is but the geek inside me is seriously hoping she reads FashionIndie.com. I need me some Star Wars friends.

LINKAGE: PARIS – fashion week aw 09/10 prêt-à-porter, day 5, 03/08/09

Being the online nerds that we tend to be at times, Daniel and I thought this was really cool. I know you’re probably thinking this is really lame, but when you see us on The Sartorialist because we are wearing our cool R2D2 bags, we’ll be the first to say we told you so!

Thanks LikeCool

This one is for all the boys (that’s right, boys, not men) in our office that drool over Megan Fox. Here is another reason to get a hard on, Megan wearing a mid exposing tee with a graphic of Star Wars. Guess she’s sort of a geek…on the inside.

I’m assuming this is what Darth Vader’s fashion line would look like if he ever decided to give up intergalactic domination and focussed more of his craft. A mix of the Matrix in the spring time and Death Star chic, this line from Spain Fashion Week by Boris Bidjan Saberi is definitely one to check out if you’re looking for a dark, brooding, knitwear collection. And honestly, who isn’t.

More photos after the jump.

Wad Magazine recently featured a spread featuring models and light sabers. Princess Leia better watch her back cause the force is strong with this one. Oh god, I’ve just revealed my geek.
