KAWS for Celebration

It’s a good time to be street-influenced artist KAWS, a.k.a. Brian Donnelly. As we mentioned last week, his work (including human-size versions of the JPP toys pictured at right) fills the Miami penthouse hideaway of Pharrell Williams, currently featured in Conde Nast’s fall Fashion Rocks supplement. KAWS also collaborated with i-D magazine on a special version of its July “stepping stone issue” and was the subject of Rob Walker’s most recent ‘Consumed’ column in The New York Times Magazine.
