You probably haven't heard of Nigo, the Japanese designer behind clothing lines like A Bathing Ape and Billionaire Boys Club, and a frequent collaborator with Pharrell Williams, but he loves the same things you love -- namely, exquisite Star Wars memorabilia.
The designer is the owner of one of the biggest and most fabulous collections of rare Star Wars collectibles in the world, and he's auctioning off more than 600 of them in an event that Sotheby's, the auction house putting the collectibles up for bidding, has branded "Return of the Nigo." The items include some of the rarest toys in the Star Wars galaxy, with some pieces expecting to go for more than $10,000 (including a flawless General Madine action figure).
The auction is set for Dec. 11. Nigo sat down with Sotheby's to talk about the effect the films had on his life. You might relate.
