This selection of [KENZO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-and-kenzo) hats is the bold result of a collaboration with [New Era](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-and-new-era). KENZO is a Paris-based brand that recently collaborated with [VANS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/born-x-raised-x-vans-authentic-44). The result of that project was so good that the brand decided to try again with New Era, the company responsible for the ever-popular 59FIFTY hat model.

The line consists of four different hats that come in two patterns: a vertical stripe pattern and a broken glass-looking pattern. Each of these patterns comes in two different color selections, and all of the hats feature the KENZO logo embroidered across the front of the cap.

Humberto Leon and Carol Lim headed up the design of this collection of caps. Big, bold text and big, bold prints make these hats statement pieces, and all of the pieces are available online.
