Summary

  • KENZO and legendary artist Futura 2000 have launched a new collaborative capsule, merging urban art with the House’s heritage
  • The collection fuses Futura’s iconic Pointman character with KENZO’s Boke Flower, reimagining the brand’s logo in his signature style
  • Key pieces include knitwear, jersey apparel, and a coach jacket, celebrating the intersection of high fashion and street art

The creative partnership between KENZO and legendary artist Futura is entering an exciting new phase. This continuation of the collaboration introduces a fresh array of co-branded apparel with Futura 2000, centered on the artist’s unique, extraterritorial universe, signaling a vibrant and playful evolution for the partnership.

Once again joining forces with KENZO Artistic Director NIGO, this collection seamlessly merges Futura’s unmistakable aesthetic with the foundational DNA of the French fashion house. The capsule’s graphics are defined by a dynamic interplay between Futura’s iconic Pointman—a figure first introduced in the 1980s through the artist’s pioneering work—and KENZO’s emblematic Boke Flower. This unexpected visual dialogue is reinforced by the KENZO Paris logo, which is redesigned in Futura’s signature hand style, underscoring the collaboration’s urban and artistic roots.

The collection offers fan-favorite categories, ensuring wearability alongside high design. Key items include knitwear, jersey pieces, and a stylish coach jacket. Each garment acts as a canvas for the fusion of both worlds, celebrating a lineage that connects New York street art with Japanese street style and Parisian luxury. This renewed partnership is a testament to the enduring influence of both creators, delivering interpretations that are both deeply rooted in history and boldly forward-looking. The collection is now available online and globally in stores.
