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.
