Gabriel DiShaw’s Star Wars/Louis Vuitton Mash-Ups

Billing himself as an upcycler and sculptor, artist Gabriel DiShaw has a wide range of tastes across different genres. Two of his muses that you’re unlikely to see mixed elsewhere–luxury brand Louis Vuitton, and the “Star Wars” franchise–have become stablemates in DiShaw’s studio. The artist takes vintage Louis Vuitton handbags and luggage, then upcycles them into Darth Vader half-masks (no COVID filtration, sorry).

Behold the LVader:

The LV McQuarrie Vader:

There’s also a full helmet version, the Dark Lord LV:

The Mandalorian makes an appearance in this category as well:

If masks aren’t your thing, maybe L2V2 is the droid you’re looking for:

And if you need to conduct a ground assault in style, there’s the LV Walker:

Note that LV isn’t the only luxury brand DiShaw messes with. Behold Gucci Fett, the most fearsome bounty hunter in Milan:
