Ralph McQuarrie is the artist who first gave Darth Vader a face. His concept paintings, created before Star Wars began filming, visualised a Sith Lord whose design was more angular, more samurai, more otherworldly than the final production version — and those concept designs have been beloved by Star Wars enthusiasts ever since as a window into a galaxy that might have been. Gucci McQuarrie Vader applies that specific design reference to a wearable half-mask crafted from authentic upcycled Gucci materials and found components, placing the mythology of Star Wars concept art in direct conversation with luxury fashion.
Materials: Authentic upcycled Gucci materials; found components
Wearable: Yes
Edition: Limited Edition 1 of 1 — signed with certificate of authenticity
