Multi-talented artist KAWS has just revealed an exclusive collaboration with newly appointed Dior Homme artistic director Kim Jones for spring.The exciting project was first teased on KAWS’ Instagram with a video that reveals some preliminary details. 

 “Just follow the bee, the iconic Dior symbol that has been exclusively reinterpreted by @KAWS! It’s heading to the Dior men’s show in Paris – the first-ever collection for the House by @MrKimJones – being held this Saturday 23rd June. #DIORXKAWS

Having already collaborated with fashion powerhouses like A Bathing Ape, Vans and Comme des Garçons, the New York-based artist shows no signs of stopping with each limited collection as creative as the next. KAWS’ most recent collaboration with Uniqlo was inspired by Sesame Street and Peanuts, which includes a mix of the artist’s own original characters as well as characters from the television show. 

Now working with Dior, KAWS’ reinvention of the iconic motif is modern and sleek.
