Fall 2024

Swedish minimalism meets American pop art surrealism. The 9-piece capsule collection brings together classic Axel Arigato footwear and ready-to-wear silhouettes with characteristic Kenny Scharf artwork. For this collaboration, Scharf’s signature animated faces and shapes twirl across clothing and sneakers. Hoodies and t-shirts are emblazoned with collegiate ‘Arigato’ font, animated with a unique hand-painted cartoon creature in classic Scharf style.

A black bomber jacket is embellished with a co-branded patchwork motif alongside a reimagined American flag where its stripes morph into wormlike figures. An accompanying jean is patchworked across indigo and black denim, distressed with frayed edges and Scharf artwork that peeps out from the seams.

Footwear comes in the form of two classic Axel Arigato Area silhouettes in white or grey, debossed with swirling white stitch work on their side panels. A 3-D, rubberised face peers out from the rear of the shoe, with additional American flag artwork on the tongue. Accessories include a co-branded baseball cap and pair of socks - with all items including a Kenny Scharf scribed signature for authenticity.
