Former Olympic snowboarder turned street artist Trevor Andrew (alias Trouble Andrew), is also known as GucciGhost. Alessandro Michele, creative director of Gucci, asked him to collaborate on a project after seeing the artist’s interpretation of the Gucci logo. Andrew decontextualised his street-art aesthetics, signature and the logo, applying them to real Gucci handbags and outfits for the catwalk.
