# Collaborative Exhibition Caps PEACEMINUSONE x VERDY Cap Celebrates the Artist's Seoul Exhibition By Amy Duong | Published 2026-06-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peaceminusone-x-verdy References: [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/peaceminusonedotcom/?hl=en)  [PEACEMINUSONE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tigers-of-asia) and Japanese graphic artist [VERDY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bott-verdy) have collaborated on a limited-edition cap released in conjunction with VERDY's "I Believe in Me" exhibition at the Lotte Museum of Art in Seoul. The design uses a two-tone red-and-white colour scheme and applies the exhibition's title across the front panel through prominent embroidered detailing. Developed as a commemorative release tied to VERDY's first solo museum exhibition, the cap combines visual elements associated with both collaborators within a classic baseball cap silhouette. Additional embroidery appears on the rear of the cap, where "Seoul" references the location of the exhibition. The design is accompanied by a custom PEACEMINUSONE clip that adds a distinctive branded detail to the accessory. By linking a wearable product to a major gallery presentation, the release extends the exhibition beyond the museum setting and into everyday use.
