Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Shawna Trpcic, the Emmy-nominated costume designer who greatly influenced the look of Lucasfilm’s “The Mandalorian” and “Ahsoka,” has died.

She was 56. Trpcic’s death was confirmed via the Costume Designer’s Guild. “With great sadness, we inform you that multiple Emmy-nominated and CDG Award-winning costume designer Shawna Trpcic has passed away unexpectedly,” the guild wrote on Instagram. “Shawna was one of Hollywood’s pre-eminent science fiction costume designers — a creative force, a trusted collaborator, and all-around delightful person for her friends and colleagues.

She was a beloved member of the Star Wars/Lucasfilm family, as well as the community of costume designers and the Costume Designers Guild.” Earlier this year, Trpcic landed an Emmy-nomination in Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes for her work on “The Mandalorian.” In an interview with Variety, Trpcic spoke about her work in building the costumes within the Star Wars world.

Her approach was to always service the fans. “The Mandalorian” was about finding a way to honor the aesthetic and “give back to” the fandom, while finding ways to bring uniqueness to her characters.
