BLACKPINK has partnered with renowned graphic designer Takashi Murakami to release an exclusive capsule collection. The collaboration, launching on December 8, promises a fusion of K-pop music and contemporary art, offering fans a limited-edition series.
YG Plus, the entertainment powerhouse behind BLACKPINK, announced the special collaboration capsule collection. This news follows the recent confirmation on December 6 that all four members of BLACKPINK have renewed their exclusive contracts with YG Entertainment.
This star-studded capsule collection introduces a brand-new character called Pandakashi, designed by Murakami and inspired by BLACKPINK’s unique musical style. Pandakashi symbolizes the convergence of art and music, representing unity through creative expression.
Available exclusively on NTWRK, the 19-piece collection offers a range of items priced between $15 and $300. Fans can participate in weekend activations on December 9 and 10 at Alchemist Miami for Art Basel weekend, as well as at the NTWRK Los Angeles store.
BLACKPINK, a four-member South Korean girl band comprised of Jennie Kim, Lisa, Kim Jisoo, and Roseanne Park, emerged from the prominent K-pop trainee system under YG Entertainment. The name BLACKPINK challenges the conventional perception of the color pink, emphasizing that ‘Pretty isn’t everything’, and representing a team of not only beauty but also immense talent.
Takashi Murakami, celebrated for his paintings, sculptures, and films, is known for creating characters that transcend pop culture, history, and fine art. For this collaboration, he has created Pandakashi, embodying his commitment to bringing people together through the intersection of different artistic elements.
In Murakami’s words, “We want to see the newest things. That is because we want to see the future, even if only momentarily. It is the moment in which, even if we don’t completely understand what we have glimpsed, we are nonetheless touched by it. This is what we have come to call art.”
Murakami’s artistic approach involves merging different time periods, styles, and subject matter. His work goes beyond traditional boundaries, encompassing galleries, studios, art fairs, and media. Combining fantasy, science, and history, Murakami’s creations challenge the isolation of these categories, showcasing the interconnected nature of his artistic vision.
