NEW Season of the Force Collection by Ashley Eckstein

To kick off Season of the Force at Disneyland, Ashley Eckstein greeted fans who were first to purchase items from her retro-inspired Star Wars collection that is part of the Disney Parks Artist series. The collection features 80’s inspired bright pink, greens, and blues with nods to the Original Trilogy. A favorite in the meet-and-greet was this pink Princess Leia shirt, featuring a classic pose from A New Hope marketing.

Sticking with the pink theme, the grey color block sweatshirt with a pink collar and the Star Wars logo in blue and green over a pink panel across the front flew off the shelves. For women who typically where a medium in Her Universe apparel, a size small would fit better as a slightly baggy sweatshirt.

Also available are a black sweatshirt with Star Wars icons down the sleeve and “May the Force be with you” across the front and a button up shirt with the Rebel Alliance logo in pink, green, and green across a black background.

This collection will be released online at Disney Store on April 25th. (Update: This collection can be found at DisneyStore.com.) Pictured on the Disney Store announcement is the Daddy Darth Vader shirt, the long sleeve light grey shirt with Original Trilogy characters on the sleeve and a Star Wars logo in blue and green, and the Star Wars fanny pack. No word when this collection will arrive at Walt Disney World.
