Gucci’s x Angelica Hicks Art Project
Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele has collaborated with illustrator Angelica Hicks, whose work he first discovered via Instagram and loved her work so much, that he has selected several of her illustrations for a Limited Edition T-shirt collection.

The Limited Edition collection comes in 11 t-shirt designs; all of which are illustrator’s interpretations of the Michele’s work for Gucci. Only 100 units of each style are produced, which means that there are a total of just 1,100 pieces available globally.
Each tee is numbered with a dedicated label out of a hundred (e.g.15/100), and comes packaged in a metal tin box bearing the same design. I can’t wait to get my hands on this when the collection launches on May 25 exclusively on Gucci.com in the US and Europe. Since it’s not available in Asia, I’m gonna have to bug some friends and get them to try and score one for me! Fingers crossed, and wish me luck!!
Also, don’t you love how Michele is constantly collaborating with illustrators, digital artists, meme artists, and photographers?
