KAWS

KAWS – The Most Influential Artist in Contemporary Streetwear

KAWS is the stage name of Brian Donnelly, the Brooklyn artist whose Companion — the figure with a skull head and Mickey Mouse gloves — has become one of the most recognizable icons of contemporary pop art. His collaborations with Nike, Dior, Uniqlo, and Pop Mart have brought his art to millions of people worldwide. At Next Step, you’ll find the most complete selection of KAWS.
