Tomoaki Nagao, better known as NIGO, is teaming up with celebrated artist Brian Donnelly, aka KAWS, for a collaborative HUMAN MADE collection dubbed “KAWS MADE.” The collection, which features a range of animal-themed motifs, marks the fifth iteration of KAWS MADE and the continued synergy between the two creatives.<\/p>\n
Items in the collection include a denim work jacket and pants, an animal-patterned coverall jacket and shirt, as well as a sweatshirt, several hoodies and a range of graphic tees. Other items include accessories like an animal-patterned bandana, a range of tote bags and a decorative pin set.<\/p>\n
The release follows closely behind the opening of the “OTSUMO PLAZA” store in Aoyama, Tokyo, Japan — a store NIGO has opened in partnership with Japanese designer Verdy. KAWS MADE also coincides with the HUMAN MADE pop-up store set to take place in New York City starting November 11, which notably also features exclusive “NEW YORK MADE” tee shirts in white and black.<\/p>\n
NEW YORK MADE tee shirts will be priced at $120 USD, produced in limited quantity and will only be available at the pop-up.<\/p>\n
As for the KAWS MADE collection, it is expected to be released on November 11 via OTSUMO PLAZA as well as at the pop-up in NYC and via HUMAN MADE’s official site.<\/p>\n
Retail prices for the release, based on its Japan drop information, range between \u00a53,300 and \u00a566,000 JPY or roughly $22 USD to $416 USD. However, prices may vary slightly region by region.<\/p>\n
