Angelica Hicks is a British-born artist who collaborated with luxury Italian brand Gucci to create 'Gucci x Angelica Hicks.'
This exclusive collection features 11 illustrations printed onto unisex Gucci t-shirts. Each print is numbered (like a fine art print) and there are only 100 of each print available. Each print is sold in a metallic box with the same print embossed on the front. The prints feature quirky Gucci-related puns and one includes a drawing of Gucci ambassador Florence Welch.
To commemorate the release, Gucci commissioned Angelica Hicks to create two large outdoor wall murals in New York City of the illustrations. Gucci x Angelica Hicks has also launched a special Snapchat geo-filter located near one of the murals.
