New York Times Cirtical Shopper columnist Mike Albo takes a stroll through fashion designer Marc Ecko’s new Cut & Sew store in Chelsea to find the ultimate in hipster urban streetwear.

A white T-shirt has a storm trooper head rendered beautifully in little appliquéd crystals, while a likeness of Yoda in green dots on a brown T-shirt looks warty and nauseating. Mr. Ecko lovingly explains his fetish in a long paragraph printed on the back inside collar: “It’s no secret I am a fan of all things Star Wars,” it reads. “Just when I am getting pop culture fatigue, I watch Star Wars.”
