Kenzo and Verdy Team Up for Holiday-Themed Collection
After teasing fans with a sneak peek at their collaboration during Kenzo’s SS25 presentation, the Parisian fashion label, led by Nigo, has finally unveiled their full collection with Japanese artist Verdy. The Kenzo Verdy Market line introduces three unique characters, Winky the Tiger, Deezy the Flower, and Bimpy the Elephant, who bring a bold and fresh take on Kenzo’s design aesthetic.
Illustrated Characters and Signature Typeface
Verdy’s retro style illustrations of Winky, Deezy, and Bimpy are featured throughout the collection, accompanied by the designer’s signature typeface forming the Kenzo Paris wordmark. The line includes a mix of knitwear and solid jersey essentials, with standout pieces like a varsity-style knitted cardigan featuring an oversized back applique of Winky the Tiger.
Festive Outerwear and Accessories
The holiday-themed collection also includes intarsia pullovers with the mascots wearing Santa Claus hats, as well as collared work jackets in black and indigo denim, adorned with embroidered mascots on the back. For a more expressive graphic, some tees and hoodies feature a new Kenzo wordmark against a backdrop of red and gold Christmas poinsettia flowers, while more subtle options feature a small mascot icon on the breast. The accessories range includes logo emblem caps in festive colors, mascot wallets, and leather keychains.
Nostalgic Souvenirs and Home Objects
The collection also offers a range of nostalgic souvenirs, perfect for holiday gifts or personal collectibles for fans of Nigo and Verdy. Vintage ceramic mugs with snow-covered block lettering, as seen on the hoodies, are just one of the standout items. Other unique pieces include a Deezy the Flower snowglobe, blankets, and rugs featuring Verdy’s circular Kenzo tiger insignia.
Release Date and Availability
The highly anticipated Kenzo Verdy Market collection will be released on November 19 exclusively on Kenzo’s web store, and on November 20 at select Kenzo stores and retail partners. Don’t miss your chance to snag these limited edition pieces and add a touch of Verdy’s playful and nostalgic style to your wardrobe.
