The GucciGhost collection is a collaboration between street artist Trouble Andrew and high fashion brand Gucci to create a luxury line of casual cartoon streetwear. The collection includes items such as crewneck sweaters and T-shirts that adorn emotive symbols such as diamonds and ghost characters that look as though they belong on murals in alleyways.
The collection focuses on implementing a much more toned down and street version of Gucci's 'G' logo into brightly colored knits and sport pieces for the Fall Winter 2016 line. One of Andrew's tag was noteably known as the GucciGhost that featured two G's facing inward with a ghost cartoon. The tag is now the main design for many of the pieces in the collection include scarves and shirts.
