The crossover of high-fashion workwear is truly embodied by the collaboration between Gucci and Dickies. While this may be a surprising partnership to some, the results are truly unique and breathtaking, combining Dickies affinity towards durable and utilitarian garments and Gucci's feel for the finer details.
Dramatically bedazzles and one-of-a-kind, this high-fashion workwear collection is sure to capture the attention of style-minded consumers. From Dickies' signature jackets to the brand's work shirts and 874 pants, the clothes are still made out of the "usual cotton twill construction." Gucci, on the other hand, adds hand-applied studs, spikes, and stars for decoration. The garments are available to purchase on Gucci's Vault website but as expected, the price points are quite a bit higher than what one would usually drop for Dickies.
