Hapori Tohu Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 LEGO has had a strong presence at San Diego Comic Con for a while now, but I doubt anyone expected the bricks to show up at a fashion show. Ashley Eckstein, voice actress for Star Wars Rebels as Ahsoka Tano, hosted the SDCC Her Universe Fashion Show wearing a completely LEGO-made dress...of Ahsoka Tano. Designed by Nathan Sawaya and Andrew MacLaine, the dress used over 10,000 LEGO pieces! Check it out and be amazed.

Aanchir Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I was pretty amazed when I saw this! It's the kind of creative use of bricks that I wish more LEGO fans would dabble in. It's also REALLY fashionable. You wouldn't necessarily think of a dress with a big character graphic on it, let alone one made of LEGO, as being quite so stylish! By comparison a lot of the other outfits demoed at this fashion show were either very cosplay-ish and inspired by characters' actual costumes, or more symbolic. One thing this article doesn't mention, though, is the sheer weight of the dress. From what I heard it's around 25 pounds, so it's probably a bit of a workout to wear and perhaps not very practical to wear for long stretches of time!

Toa Smoke Monster Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I recall reading something a long time ago about using Lego pieces to make clothes. Its cool to see someone wear clothing like this, especially at Comic-Con. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Sybre Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 The dress looks incredible! The design is creative and it looks like she can actually walk in it. But how does she get it on and off? The dress is really form-fitting on her sides, so I can imagine it isn't an easy process. I recall reading something a long time ago about using Lego pieces to make clothes. Its cool to see someone wear clothing like this, especially at Comic-Con. I've also seen wearable Spartan armor from Halo made out of LEGO bricks. However, it was just the plating and not the undersuit. Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dress is really form-fitting on her sides, so I can imagine it isn't an easy process. It could be that it snaps together in the back somehow. And of course, as the host of a fashion show like this I'm sure she had people to help her get ready.

xccj Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I saw some pictures of that, and thought it looked cool and Lego-ish, but didn't realized it was actual Lego. Pretty awesome. Granted, the article is slightly off, since this is not the first Lego dress ever made... But still, quite amazing.

And of course she would have help, but I imagine the helpers probably had their work cut out for them. Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reya Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I saw this a couple of days ago. It looks fantastic. I'd love to see different pieces of clothing made from Lego as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I was pretty impressed when I learned this was made of LEGO. Seems pretty uncomfortable. xD -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
