THE KENZO X VERDY COLLECTION

The collection will be launched at an exclusive KENZO pop-up store on the Champs-Élysées in Paris from December 2nd to December 17th and at 10 Corso Como in Seoul from December 16th to December 26th acting as a symbolic ‘East Meets West’ bridge for the house.
A close friend of Nigo’s, VERDY is a Japanese graphic artist whose bold, playful designs and vibrant colors frequently explore themes of youth culture, rebellion and nostalgia. His work with influences ranging from skateboarding, hip-hop and manga, has been described as a fusion of Japanese and Western streetwear, making VERDY the perfect creative addition to the East-meets-West vibe that Nigo has envisioned for the brand.

The signature font used by VERDY will be seen emblazoned across a selection of garments for the holiday season, selected from the Spring/Summer 2024 collection designed by Nigo. Revisited by VERDY, spelt-out branding including ‘Kenzo’, ‘KENZO Paris’, ‘18 Rue Vivienne’ or ‘1970’ is applied on woven, knit, denim and leather pieces and accessories.
