KENZO, under the creative direction of Nigo, unveils their second collaboration with Japanese visual artist VERDY for the Spring/Summer 2024 season. This latest collection, aptly named ‘Colors’, is set to release incrementally throughout the season. Drawing inspiration from bold and primary color-blocking techniques, this collaboration merges VERDY’s dynamic aesthetics with the KENZO universe playfully and cohesively. Additionally, the collection will introduce new color variations of the KENZO-PACE sneaker, initially launched last year.
VERDY, a close associate of Nigo, is celebrated for his striking and cheerful graphic art that encapsulates themes of youth, defiance, and a sense of nostalgia. His art, deeply influenced by skateboarding, hip-hop, and manga, stands at the crossroads of Japanese and Western streetwear aesthetics. This makes VERDY an ideal partner for Nigo’s vision of KENZO, where the fusion of Eastern and Western styles is a continuous theme. The KENZO x VERDY ‘COLORS’ collection embodies this synergy, offering a fresh perspective for the upcoming season.
