Certain individuals within the fashion industry seem to possess an almost unparalleled perspective and influence on matters, and one of those individuals is KAWS. Brian Donnelly, known professionally as KAWS, is an American artist and designer known for his figurative characters and motifs. He has been responsible for some of the most significant collaborations over the past few years, including his initial partnership with The North Face, and now he appears to be seeking to share his expertise elsewhere.

KAWS will now serve as an advisor to Otsumo Co., LTD, the parent company behind the HUMAN MADE label, as well as other lifestyle-related businesses. To make the announcement, NIGO simply took to Instagram and said, "Welcoming our new advisor @kaws to the HUMAN MADE team" with a photo of himself and KAWS in front of a colourful display of his artwork. The reason for this appointment is to enhance the creative power of Otsumo, with KAWS directly providing advice "from an artist's perspective." It remains to be seen how much this might alter things, but something tells us it could be a beneficial appointment.
