WALT DISNEY STUDIOS and BLOOMINGDALE’S partnered in “Force 4 Fashion” for the theatrical release of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. Designers created outfits based on a STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS character, that were then auctioned off through charitybuzz.com. The proceeds benefited Child Mind Institute on behalf of STAR WARS: THE FORCE FOR CHANGE. The auction opened on December 12th. The designer looks were first shown at a launch event presented by Kay Jewelers and CoverGirl in Chelsea, New York. The outfits then went on display at the BLOOMINGDALE’S Third Avenue windows.

The costume designer for the film, Michael Kaplan, also created three limited-edition “little brown bags” inspired by the film and exclusively sold at BLOOMINGDALE’S. A portion of the proceeds also went towards Child Mind Institute on behalf of STAR WARS: FORCE FOR CHANGE.
