Arriving this Week.
Having most recently joined forces for Spring/Summer 2024 back in December, Nigo’s KENZO and visual artist VERDY are returning to the scene for their second SS24′ effort, titled ‘COLORS’.
A host of co-branded basics lit up the fashion space last time out as KENZO x VERDY hit the shelves, with this newest entry making sure to pick up where the duo’s last release left off. Dropping throughout the season, the new collection is inspired by bold primary colour blocking that aptly intertwines itself with KENZO’s world of design, whilst also utilising VERDY’s playful creations and affection for themes of youth culture, rebellion and nostalgia. The Japanese graphic artist has long been championed for his ability to fuse elements of Japanese and Western streetwear, making this joint effort with Nigo and KENZO a match made in heaven as the latter continues to bridge that gap on a wider scale.
The simple but effective collection – which boasts both mens and womenswear – offers up a host of to-the-point pieces that hit the co-branded nail right on the head, with menswear featuring everything from a classic zip-up grey hoodie utilising a ‘KENZO PARIS’ graphic across the chest or at the back of the garment in a VERDY envisioned font, to matching shorts, tracksuit bottoms, and multi-fit jersey t-shirts. Another highlight from the soon-to-release range is the KENZO-PACE sneaker which was first introduced last year, with this latest silhouette arriving in tonal shades of blue, yellow, and red. Womenswear follows suit to the priorly mentioned range, with red, yellow, white, and grey ‘KENZO PARIS’ t-shirts arriving in loose fits, whilst a boxy cropped t-shirt in soft white jersey with yellow lettering and a long grey t-shirt dress bearing white logos make their debut also. Last but not least, accessories provide the ‘pièce de résistance’ of the collection as a small deep-sea blue canvas tote bag proudly displays ‘KENZO PARIS’ in similar fashion to matching baseball caps, which don blue with white logo and off-white with yellow logo colour schemes.
The KENZO x VERDY ‘COLORS’ collection will be available to shop via the KENZO website and in-stores on April 12th.
