Within a year of his newfound designation, he became the first &#8220;streetwear designer&#8221; to take home the grand prize at the Mainichi Fashion Grand Prix last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re familiar with NIGO&#8217;s works, mainly through his legacy at BAPE and also HUMAN MADE, you&#8217;d also know about one of his good friends and frequent collaborator Verdy. The duo have been at it together for many years now, intertwining both HUMAN MADE and Girls Don&#8217;t Cry\/Wasted Youth on a frequent basis. Most recently, the duo opened <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/10\/30\/nigo-and-verdy-to-open-otsumo-plaza-concept-store-in-aoyama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"OTSUMO PLAZA\">OTSUMO PLAZA<\/a>\u2014a concept store housing both creators&#8217; brands, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was really only a matter of time before NIGO brought his good ol&#8217; pal into the KENZO mix. First previewed at this year&#8217;s Paris Fashion Week, an extensive series of models walked KENZO&#8217;s runway donning clothing pieces that featured both artists&#8217; handiwork. More often than not, you can see NIGO&#8217;s eccentric choice of apparel at work, strung together with Verdy&#8217;s signature cursive font that has been a mainstay for his labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/23165241\/kenzo-verdy-5.webp\" alt=\"KENZO x Verdy Collection\" class=\"wp-image-186802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/23165241\/kenzo-verdy-5.webp 1024w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/23165241\/kenzo-verdy-5-300x155.webp 300w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/23165241\/kenzo-verdy-5-768x397.webp 768w, https:\/\/snkrdunk.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/23165241\/kenzo-verdy-5-282x146.webp 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the French luxury house has finally pulled the curtains on the capsule: the KENZO x Verdy Collection is set to drop on 1 December. This collection will mark NIGO&#8217;s first official KENZO collaborative project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the brand has not revealed exactly which pieces will be part of the KENZO x Verdy Collection, you can take a quick glance at some of the previews found during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kenzo.com\/en-fr\/story-show-ss24-paris.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" title=\"brand's SS24 Showcase\">brand&#8217;s SS24 Showcase<\/a> at Paris Fashion Week. Surely, though, apparels featuring Verdy&#8217;s &#8220;KENZO Paris&#8221; will be part of it, as teased by the brand&#8217;s Instagram posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned for more updates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Verdy, have you checked out his new <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/11\/23\/mcdonalds-china-teams-up-with-verdy-to-offer-exclusive-meals-and-merchandises\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McDonald&#8217;s China collaboration<\/a>?
