Kenzo and its artistic director Nigo are partnering with the artist Verdy, who created custom graphics for the brand’s spring/summer 2024 runway collection, unveiled during the latest Men’s Fashion Week in Pari. Verdy’s motifs were also presented during the brand’s repeat fashion show in Shanghai last July.
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. 

On the menswear side, a short black windbreaker with an allover white logo is complemented with a navy knitted jumper and vest, also with an allover white logo. Jersey pieces include a varsity black & white cardigan with “KP” on the chest and “Kenzo Paris” across the back. A black sweatshirt with the same “Kenzo Paris” logo blown up at the front is also available in white with blue lettering. Oversized T-shirts in black or white are presented with maxi logos in red or white (“KP,” “Kenzo Paris,” “18 Rue Vivienne”) at the front and on the back.

The Kenzo x Verdy collection for women includes a navy knitted jumper, a cardigan, and a skirt that features the “Kenzo Paris” allover logo. The jersey line proposes a pink polo dress and an off-white cropped hoodie, both bearing the allover “Kenzo Paris” logo. A cropped boxy T-shirt in black, white, and pink, as well as a loose T-shirt in pink or white, features the macro logo across the chest. Black and pink sweatshirts, as well as a classic varsity cardigan in off-white with a red logo, round out the jersey offer.
Wearable by all, a hoodie in black has a white maxi front logo and comes in off-white with a red logo. A navy knitted cardigan bears the allover “Kenzo Paris” logo in white and blue. A leather motorcycle jacket and a Varsity jacket both bearing maxi logos (“18 Rue Vivienne” and “KP” on the chest and “Kenzo Paris” across the back) enrich the genderless wardrobe. The jersey section comprises hoodies, jogging pants, and oversized T-shirts, in a combination of white with an allover red logo or black with a white logo.
