In an unexpected career twist, former Olympic snowboarder Trevor Andrew has spent the past four years covering every available surface with crudely drawn Gucci logos.
Known on Instagram (and elsewhere) as GucciGhost, Andrew and his graffiti-style efforts have earned him some 84,000 followers — and in 2016, a formal collaboration with the luxury Italian label, which invited the Bed-Stuy-based artist to embellish its bags and garments with edgy scrawls.
Now, Andrew brings his Gucci-inspired pieces to New York Fashion Week with “The Real Buy,” an exhibit of roughly 200 artworks at Milk Gallery in Chelsea.
“I basically moved my whole studio in Brooklyn here,” says the 38-year-old Andrew, flashing two gold teeth.
On display are paintings, moto jackets, toilet seats and boomboxes adorned with Gucci’s trademark interlocking Gs.
Andrew also hauled in a beat-up car, its trunk filled with defaced Gucci luggage. “I just came across it,” Andrew says of the vehicle. “A lot of the objects I use I just randomly find.”
Andrew tells The Post he has been obsessed with the designer label since buying his first real Gucci item — a watch — at age 17, with prize money from a snowboarding competition.
The GucciGhost project arose from a Halloween fluke in 2013: Desperate for a costume, Andrew cut eyeholes in a Gucci bedsheet and threw it over his head.
The get-up was a hit, prompting Andrew to make the luxury symbol part of his persona.
Andrew says some friends expressed concern when he began tagging walls and objects with his counterfeit Gucci logos and sharing the photos on social media.
“They said I could get sued. But I was like, ‘It’s not stealing, it’s reinterpreting,’ ” he says.
Gucci’s eventual partnership offer “was dope,” he says.
Still, for future endeavors, Andrew is considering broadening his oeuvre beyond Gucci. “I have some things in the works,” he says, declining to disclose details.
In the meantime, gallery visitors can take in his DIY-meets-designer art and go home with souvenirs — merch ranges from $40 for a GucciGhost-branded T-shirt to $350 for a screen print.
“The Real Buy” runs through Sept. 23 at Milk Gallery, 450 West 15th St.; 212-645-2797
