ICNCLST played a pivotal role in managing the collaboration between Nigo and FUTURA, overseeing artist representation and product design to ensure the collection’s artistic and cultural integrity.

Creative Direction & Production

ICNCLST managed the creative direction of the collaboration, from FUTURA’s iconic imagery to Nigo’s reimagining of KENZO’s heritage. This included overseeing the integration of unique patterns, textiles, and accessories inspired by Nigo’s cultural background and Futura's space-themed designs.
