First off,  you proved me wrong on the boots- not Fluevogs at all, but the Spiral Tabi boots from Ayya Wear (although several of you caugth my mistake, points go to Choklit Chanteuse for being the quickest on the draw).

Next, Jonny Cota popped up with a clue to the jackets, which turn out to be from Los Angeles designer Elijah Sound’s A.D.2013- a collection which was somehow totally under my radar!

And,  Ragdoll pointed out that costume designer Michael Kaplan was also the costume designer from Bladerunner (for which, by the way, he won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design).

Actually, they are Fluevogs. We sold the costume crew a dozen pairs of the 240s for the guys (http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w[0]=search%3Ageoff&p=1&pp=1&view=detail&colourID=937) and the Tillies (rubber wedge Friend lace-ups) for the lady Romulans. Vog On!

I went to see the new Star trek movie last night. First off, it rocked. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I’m here to talk about Romulans, and how well-dressed they are. Sadly, I haven’t been able to find much information (yet) about the deconstructed layers of awesome or the half-hooded trench coats that seem to abound in the evil empire. Eric Bana is dressed like the hippest kid in the club and carrying an awesome steampunk phaser to boot. Sadly, there are very few screen caps yet available, and no information on designers that I can find.  But one (possibly accidental) moment of product placement answers the question of the footwear of the future- as Nero’s boot stamps down towards  Captain Kirk, the camera focuses in on the hella distressed leather boots of the future- and a familiar swirl at the base of the laces. At first I thought that the Romulans were wearing Fluevogs, but thanks to you guys for realizing that those swirls were Spiral Tabi boots from Ayya.
