"When heritage meets innovation, something extraordinary happens. The ongoing collaboration between KENZO and legendary graffiti artist Futura 2000 exemplifies this rare synergy, fusing Parisian craftsmanship with New York street culture in a way that feels both timeless and forward-thinking. Their latest drop continues this creative dialogue, expanding the boundaries of what art and fashion can achieve together. The partnership, which began under KENZO Artistic Director NIGO, continues to evolve"
"Since first emerging in the 1980s as one of graffiti's most visionary figures, Futura has consistently challenged conventions, transforming spray paint into a language of abstraction and emotion. His visual identity-anchored by the cosmic figure known as the Pointman-has transcended walls and canvases to influence design, music, and contemporary culture. Under NIGO's leadership, KENZO has similarly embraced this spirit of reinvention."
KENZO and Futura 2000 merge Parisian craftsmanship with New York street culture to produce collections that feel simultaneously archival and forward-looking. The partnership began under KENZO Artistic Director NIGO and continues to evolve, with each stitch and print embodying a dialogue between French luxury and avant-garde street art. Futura's abstraction and the Pointman motif translate graffiti language into wearable graphics that traverse walls, canvases, and cultural domains. NIGO's blend of Tokyo street sensibility and European refinement makes collaboration central to KENZO's creative DNA, positioning the collection at the intersection of art, fashion, design, and music while stretching creative boundaries.
