Pollitt told The Australian newspaper that his new fashions included a limited edition psychedelic alien print, plus a whole line of clothes designed to be reminiscent of Lynch's Dune:

David Lynch's 1984 science fiction film Dune was the inspiration for the range Pollitt presented last night in the atrium of the University of Technology in Sydney.

He enlivened his signature blacks with saturated film colours including green, yellow, orange and red, along with deep silvers and dove greys to capture the essence of deep space and its surrounding galaxies as portrayed in Dune.

Garments in Pollitt's favoured washed and treated leathers, silk georgettes and jersey fabrics had intricate panels and zippers in homage to the "second skin" space suits worn by characters in the film.

"The suits were a second skin to protect them from the elements," Pollitt said. "They felt like extensions of their muscles and ribcages and I've applied those ideas to modern garments without making them too costumey."

I really only have one question. I get how it's a tribute to Dune, as well as an edgy, post-apocalyptic, androgynous look worn by people who would not survive five minutes in an actual post-apocalyptic world. But why does nobody have any eyebrows?

• Chuck Taylor All Star Sci Fi Shoes High Tops: You might have seen an ad for these running right here on io9, but this was the first time we'd heard about 'em. And well, yours truly had to order a pair of them, in black and white. And no, there was no special io9 discount, consarnit. These shoes are actually available in both black and white and color versions, and have words like "Otherworldly," "Invasion" and "Mars" emblazoned all over in different comic book fonts. Probably the best science fiction shoes we've seen besides these Space Invaders sneakers, or if this guy ever gets his Back to the Future Nikes petition approved.
• 
  
• Robot Socks: Unless you're five years old and wearing your Buzz Lightyear socks to school every day, it's hard to come up with something useful in the sock department. Thankfully, you've got Robot Socks to deal with the issue. Available for both men and women, these robots seem to be celebrating the joy of socks, or the sanctity of ankle covering. Maybe they're Amish robots, who knows. We're not really sure if the Owl Socks on that page are robot owls or what.
• 
  
• Supergirl S-Shield Thong: If you're a girl (or an adventurous guy) who is looking to pimp out their love for all things Superman, then you can't go wrong with this s-shield thong. See a cute geek who you wouldn't mind letting know you just picked up the latest issue of Action Comics? A peek is all he'll need, and it'll be like kryptonite to him.
• 
  
• Pocket Robot Boxer Shorts: For men, we were tempted to recommend these self-cleaning nanofabric briefs that can go for weeks without washing, but instead we were wooed by the power of Cafe Press, which features over 14,000 things you can emblazon on boxers. We're not so sure why we like robots on our clothes so much today, but how cute is this little guy peeking out of your shorts?
• 
  
• Han Cholo Ray Gun Belt Buckle: You can use any belt to hold up your pants, but the real scifi power of the belt is in the buckle. Han Cholo makes some of the coolest scifi and street bling out there, and this pewter belt buckle with an old-school ray gun is perfect. You could get it in silver or gold too, although that'll set you back several hundred bucks, making your pants a lot lighter.
• 
  
• Lederhosen With Built-In iPod Controls: Perhaps outdated German fashions will take over the world in 2099, making these very scifi in nature, but right now they look like something Nathan Fillion would step out of Serenity in, and they come with handy iPod controls on the pant leg as well. Admittedly, finding science fiction pants has been the hardest part of this post, and we wish we could all just go pantsless, like Zapp Brannigan. So it's either that or shiny silver spandex catsuits.
• 
  
• Retropolis T-Shirts: We've talked at great length about science fiction t-shirts in this post, and you can peruse the comments there for even more great suggestions. So how do we pick just one? The answer is simple: we don't. We just have a giant closet full of scifi shirts ready to go at a moment's notice, and the flavor of the day is Retropolis. These awesome t-shirts have a steampunk/BioShock feeling to them, and the designs are retro-cool. Plus check out their entire vintage futurism t-shirts section as well for extra retro-style. The t-shirt really is the most widely used geek badge of honor out there, so make your selection esoteric and fun.
• 
  
• Vereen Jacket: This is a perfect jacket to top off your outfit with, because it's straight enough to pass for a leather jacket, but those in the know will realize that you might have adamantium claws up your sleeves and will give you the proper respect, or sneering looks. Bonus: it doubles as a lookalike jacket for Tom Cruise in War of the Worlds. You'll also get a lot less ribbing wearing this than you would if you went for the Neo-look, and yes... we've seen it in the wild.

• A science fiction hat is just overkill. What are you, crazy?!

Thanks to Bonnie Burton for said socks, and to Jeff for the Retropolis shirts!

• Snorg Tees prides themselves on being a pop-culture t-shirt powerhouse, but they only have three sci fi shirt designs in the midst. Thankfully, they're all sublime, ranging from the brand-new outer space sex design, to the fate of poor Pluto, and my personal favorite, the Back to the Future rebus

• Threadless is an extremely cool "voice of the masses" t-shirt shop where people submit designs, and you vote on 'em to decide if they should be made into shirts. Since it's all submitted designs and not licensed properties, you'll get truly original stuff like The Voyage of the Space Chrysalises, Rocketbird, The League Of Cliche Evil Super-Villains, and I know we said no Star Wars, but this Dark Side of the Garden shirt with a topiary-cutting Vader is inspired.
• 
  
• Seibei has some of the stranger shirts we've seen out there, like this Strange Invaders one. However, if zombies turn out to be caused by a human-created supervirus, and not just some living dead hoohah, then you can pick up this Intramural Zombie Hunter shirt, complete with bloodstains.
• 
  
• NerdyShirts is actually much more geeky than nerdy. They have some great shirts like this Optimus Prime one that is loads better than the recent movie was, an elect Bruce Campbell in 2008 shirt (complete with chainsaw), an extremely wacky Spidermanmobile, and everyone's favorite Japanese nerdy guy, Hiro.
• 
  
• 80stees specializes in vintage-looking shirts featuring everything from Knight Rider '82, to a Better, Faster, Stronger Six Million Dollar man shirt. You can even get the Greatest American Hero's costume here, if you're looking for a new outfit. Instructions not included.
• 
  
• Palmercash has a lot of offbeat shirts, like Nixon in '78 and the like, but if you do some searching you'll find everything from this vintage-cut ladies Pixelbot t-shirt, to a day-glo Space Invaders piece of work. They're a bit pricy for t-shirts, but I brought my brother one for Christmas, and he loves the damn thing.
• 
  
• Neighborhoodies will let you design your own everything, from hoodies, to t-shirts, to boxers. They have a few ready made shirts, including this Planet Express number from Futurama, but you should feel free to let your imagination run wild. Beware, it's entirely addictive once you get started.
• 
  
• Cafe Press has an entire science fiction category on their site, but they are frequently hit or miss. They run from the sub-par to the subdued. Plus, since the fans are running the asylum, you'll see an overload of Firefly and Star Trek stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with that, we just like a little variety on our body.
