Luxury label Gucci introduces its latest #GucciHallucination collection, created in collaboration with artist, Ignasi Monreal. The two have previously worked together on advertising pieces, but have now joined forces in creating an apparel collection. The #GucciHallucination capsule is comprised of 18 pieces in total -- nine sweaters and nine t-shirts, all boasting the digital artwork made by Ignasi Monreal for the label's Spring/Summer 2018 campaign.
The #GucciHallucination pieces are extremely limited, as only 200 of each t-shirt will be made, and 100 of every sweater will be produced. All of which will be finished with a numbered label for additional exclusive detailing. The pieces will also be custom packaged with more adorning Monreal art. In addition to the #GucciHallucination collection, the two have also joined to create an art wall located in East London. The collection however, will be dropping online on Gucci on April 11.
