Artistic Collaboration Blends Playful Graphics with Classic Silhouettes
Kenzo and artistic director Nigo are set to launch their second collaborative collection with visual artist Verdy, introducing the vibrant and energetic ‘Colors’ collection for Spring/Summer 2024. Inspired by bold primary color-blocking, the collection infuses Verdy’s signature playful graphics with classic Kenzo silhouettes, offering a range of apparel and accessories that embody the brand’s ethos of youthful rebellion and creativity.
Drawing on themes of youth culture and nostalgia, Verdy’s designs bring a fusion of Japanese and Western streetwear influences to the Kenzo universe. The collection features a variety of menswear and womenswear pieces, including zip-up hoodies, sweatshirts, jersey T-shirts, and essential accessories, all adorned with the iconic ‘Kenzo Paris’ or ‘KP’ logo envisioned by Verdy. The color palette, consisting of poppy red, lemon yellow, white, and grey, adds a playful and summery vibe to the lineup.
Highlighting the collection is the new iteration of the Kenzo-Pace sneaker, featuring three fresh summery colors – deep-sea blue, red, and lemon yellow. Originally introduced during the Fall-Winter 2023 show, the Kenzo-Pace has evolved with each collection, becoming a staple in Kenzo’s footwear offerings. The ‘Colors’ collection will be available worldwide at Kenzo boutiques, online, and select retail partners starting April 12th, 2024, offering fashion enthusiasts an opportunity to embrace the vibrant spirit of Kenzo x Verdy collaboration.
