Snowboarder and graffiti artist from New York Trouble Andrew flick of spray paint transformed Gucci jacket into works of art.

Brooklyn. A snack bar with grilled chicken, offices, immigration lawyers and tattooed skaters. I was almost knocked down a giant black-and-white dog, and at the same time from the press service of Gucci comes a letter: »Let me tell Trevor big dog.» So, I definitely come to the right place, at the place clearly did not like the cradle of the new-feshp trend.

Trouble Andrew, passport William Trevor Andrew,He leads me to his studio. Artist appreciatively watching his bright blue eyes pas garbage containers, by which we are going, and says that his worn leather jacket biker (on the back - »mesh» Gucci) - from komissionki in his native Canada. She and her mother all the free time spent in such institutions, and still love this business. If Trevor finds something good, it feels like winning the prize.

As a teenager, a professional snowboarder, heFifteen years ago, he moved to Brooklyn - in the studio, where he lives now. Even here izrisoval toilet from the floor to the ceiling of his favorite logos of Gucci, which is now going crazy the whole fashion world. At the same time yelling multiple TVs and VCRs from the pre-digital era. Nothing unusual. »I often put a movie, and so it may be a month to spin on repeat», - says the artist. Video - his passion: he worked for years clips, recently he directed the video for the pop star Miley Cyrus. By leaning against the wall of a dummy - he is wrapped in a sheet with the Gucci logo. From it in due time make a great costume for Halloween: Andrew pierced the holes for the eyes and went straight into the thick of the fun, then blew instagram photos with the hash tag #GucciGhost - Gucci ghost.

Specter was not the beginning of acquaintance with the artistGucci - the first serious earning money for the performance of the board, he bought a watch. »It was the moment when I first felt successful - Trevor describes a vivid sense of owning designer thing. - I do not really follow fashion, but I respect the power of the brand! »

Lukavit: He not only watches the output of each collection, but also creates it on a par with Alessandro Michele, creative director of Gucci. In February, directly from the artist's studio things went to Milan on the Fashion Week, where the clothes of the autumn-winter season were shown. How did it happen that Trevor, a city pirate, an illegal graffiti player who expressed love for the brand, hammering her logo all around - from garbage cans to walls, became a fadsh-favorite? »They had only two options: to sue me or take me to work. So I was not surprised when the call came: »Can you come to? Them next week? »

First, Michele settled an artist in the studio of the brand,But because of the smell of paint, he was organized space on the ground floor. Was he really not worried at all? Not a bit. »As soon as I arrived, we went to dinner, and after that I showed my work.» ? Action? »Perfectly».

The artist full creative freedom - itpresent on the fitting and make sketches on your phone. What are their relationships with Michele? »He's so kind and friendly, just floating around - like the feeling when you ride your board or play with the band: all the fooling around and having fun. Thus was born the magic, because you can not speak or show great gimmick and nothing good is done out of fear. Therefore, Alessandro and revolutionized the fashion - his works are created without fear. I believe that you get in return for the energy that gave to this world. Good and positive attracts positive and good. I myself gave the installation - will be a professional snowboarder, and I became to them. The only thing I was a little afraid - that lost inspiration, and I will not do. »

Who else inspires him? Andrew calls skateboarding pioneer and artist Mark Gonzales, street artist Stephen Sprauza (whose graffiti decorated handbags Louis Vuitton), but the main idol - Malcolm McLaren, the husband of the Queen of punk Vivienne Westwood in London.

He himself the more punk: on shooting almost burned a new collection, performing trick with paint spray and a lighter under the deafening laughter. That's why the latest Gucci items such daring and want everything. Mary Fellows
