The coffee table book "I Know Nigo®" documents the collaboration between famed fashion designer Nigo® and many artists (including Pharrell, A$AP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator), with a treasure trove of limited-edition apparel, sneakers, accessories, album covers and collectibles and an archive of trademark images and patterns.
Moving between the worlds of fashion and hip-hop, Nigo® is a giant in streetwear culture. Nigo® is one of the pioneers of the highly influential Harajuku style movement and the founder of *A Bathing Ape®. He is currently creative director of Kenzo and partner with Pharrell in Human Made and Billionaire Boys Club/IceCream. He is one of the transformative figures in contemporary fashion and has been instrumental in translating streetwear trends into modern luxury.
"The coffee table book 'I Know Nigo®' is a beautiful compilation of creative collaborations that BAPE and Human Made designer Nigo® had with Pharrell, A$AP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator and KENZO, among others," - MOKUMO.
He is also known as a music producer, collaborating since the 1990s with hitmakers in hip-hop and contemporary music such as Pharrell, Pusha T, Mos Def, M-Flo, the Teriyaki Boyz and many others. The book is a visual record of the material culture created by these collaborations. These collaborative products - limited editions adorned with logos and slogans - are an essential part of why Nigo®'s designs are so sought after. The same maximalist philosophy is applied in the design of the book, with original character art and all-over graphics integral to the visual narrative.
