Explore the inspiration and process behind this piece.
Shadow Couture Squadron is a wearable TIE Fighter-inspired helmet sculpture handcrafted by Gabriel Dishaw. Part of the Luxury Series, this piece reimagines one of Star Wars' most iconic silhouettes through the lens of high fashion and sustainable art.
Constructed from upcycled black and grey Louis Vuitton materials, assorted reclaimed leathers, and metal hardware, Shadow Couture Squadron sits at the intersection of the Empire's visual language and couture design. The monochromatic palette draws directly from the TIE Fighter's aesthetic — cold, precise, authoritative — while the layered luxury materials transform it into something that belongs as much on a runway as in a cockpit.
This piece continues Gabriel's ongoing exploration of pop culture iconography, luxury goods, and e-waste — turning discarded materials into collectible fine art objects that carry both cultural meaning and craftsmanship.
Dimensions:
Height: 18 inches
Width: 12 inches
Depth: 13 inches
Wearable: Yes
