Kenzo Men's Fall Winter 2025 For Fall/Winter 2025, Kenzo’s creative director Nigo returned to Paris with a collection that embodied a kind of cultural archaeology—mining memories, friendships, and aesthetic collisions from both his past and streetwear’s collective memory. Once again, Nigo proved his fluency in translating diverse global references into garments that speak to the future, even while gazing lovingly into the rearview.
This season’s key collaboration came with Futura, the legendary New York graffiti artist whose signature atom motif and lyrical spray paint aesthetics gave the collection its visual heartbeat. The creative bond between the two dates back to 1996, when a young Nigo first encountered Futura in Tokyo, serendipitously wearing one of Nigo’s designs. That encounter has since evolved into a shared creative language, culminating in this co-authored moment for Kenzo.
Futura’s motifs were stitched, sprayed, and signaled across a range of silhouettes: bomber jackets, wide-leg pants, and kimono-collared suiting. The fusion of his atom symbol with a Kenzo flower created a hybrid emblem that was both nostalgic and newly minted. In one of the collection’s most striking visual threads, the graffiti motifs were layered over soft indigo cotton and paired with check-lined cuffs, evoking a kind of refined street rebellion. It wasn’t just surface decoration—Futura’s presence added texture and story to every stitch.
