Where to Buy a KAWS Drawing for Your Collection

High-profile collabs

KAWS’s original COMPANION toys were a collaboration with the Japanese streetwear brand Bounty Hunter. He has also designed apparel collections for Uniqlo and Supreme, but it all started with a fashion collection for Bathing Ape (BAPE). Two pairs of KAWSxBAPE sneakers sold at a Sotheby’s Hong Kong auction for about $15,000 in 2019, 100x their pre-sale estimate. KAWS continued his sneaker work with a limited edition design for Nike Air Jordans, featuring his iconic double X’s.

Dior worked with KAWS several times to design apparel collections and sculptures that were sold as dolls. Similar dolls were sold at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. The 2017 launch of this collaboration crashed the museum website. Deadstock KAWS dolls can sell for upwards of $1,000 in the secondary market.
