Curator Tour of NIGO: From Japan with Love

From the back streets of Harajuku, Tokyo, to the global stage, this is the first-ever museum retrospective and exhibition outside of Japan that will chart the career and life of the Japanese creative director, NIGO.

Working across street style, fashion, music, and more, NIGO has been behind some of the most influential designs, ideas and trends in recent streetwear and fashion history. From founding his first fashion brand, A Bathing Ape, in the ‘90s to currently leading KENZO as the fashion house’s artistic director, the impact of his career remains as wide-reaching and relevant as ever.

Exhibition curator Esme Hawes will take the group on a journey, providing unique insights into her process curating the show directly from NIGO’s archive and the stories behind key objects.

This tour is unmissable for NIGO fans, fashion practitioners, students, Japanese culture enthusiasts and design aficionados.
