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.
