KENZO x VERDY Collab: A Fusion of Streetwear and Childhood Creativity

KENZO and famous Japanese artist VERDY collaborate on a special collection that’s all about nostalgia and making fashion fun again

Youth is yours to forever revisit. Case in point: KENZO’s a modern day gateway back into a more spritely energy and vibe with its choices in wardrobe and accessories—mixing streetwear style graphics with bold color ways and silhouettes.

Like a match made in heaven, renowned Japanese graphic artist VERDY brings his repertoire to KENZO with their newest collaboration in the KENZO VERDY MARKET collection. With a unique sense of charisma and whimsy, this is a telling sign that 2025 might just be bringing back a more old-school sense of street style and fun with a variety of print designs and zany combinations of color and texture.

This is the KENZO VERDY MARKET—a visual universe of charming characters and vistas ripped straight out of the imaginative mind of a kid high on life and excitement. All that joy and wonder, now translated into a catalog of wear fit for any occasion.

The VERDY Visual Universe

Three distinct figures sit at the core of the collection. VERDY’s signature pop graphic style breathes life into the charming cast of animated friends by the names of Winky the Tiger, Deezy the Flower, and Bimpy the Elephant. Greet them well and get familiar with this trio, as the diverse range of clothing and accessories will be this cast’s home.

Unisex wear wears its 2000s retro video game aesthetic proudly on its sleeves. Bright and bold tees display the KENZO logo, which is now stylized by VERDY to fit his visual language, as if it were the starting screen titles out of vintage arcade cabinets. Winky the Tiger sits loud and proud on the backs and fronts of cardigans and long-sleeved tees.

Knitted sweaters comprising much of the women’s wear leans towards comfortable wear that are infused with a mischievous energy with each design. Each piece worn conveys a distinct creative spark with its variety of prints that make any day with it worn that much less mundane.

When the collection was first revealed back on the KENZO Spring/Summer 2025 runway last June, many were able to catch sight of these dressy collared zip-up jackets. Menswear with the KENZO VERDY MARKET collection gets a dose of classic Japanese delinquent energy in these darker colors and more striking takes on the characters.

Mugs, cozy blankets, key chains, carpets, and more round out what is a celebration of the house’s codes that are rooted on creativity and pure imagination. Winky the Tiger wears his hat with joy, while Bimpy the Elephant dangles with a cheeky smile on charms and chains. Olive green caps and snow white rugs make for timeless additions to any look, both for your interiors and for your outfits.
