Toho and Huf Worldwide Bring Epic Godzilla Collection to Life
Toho International, the Japanese studio’s U.S.-based subsidiary that has brought classic Godzilla to life, along with HUF Worldwide, the Los Angeles-based premium footwear and apparel brand, has announced the launch of a limited-edition capsule collection inspired by Japanese cinema’s world-famous “King of the Monsters,” Godzilla.
Available today exclusively at Urban Outfitters and HUF retail and ecommerce stores, the apparel and skateboard collection features artwork by contemporary graphic artist Kosuke Kawamura. Ranging in price from $34 – $85, the premium design HUF x Godzilla x Kosuke Kawamura collaboration embraces the fierceness of the unstoppable Godzilla, and incorporates unique artwork into a must-have line of streetwear.
“The Godzilla brand continues to thrive and resonate within the cultural landscape, especially within the skateboard community. We’re so excited to partner with HUF, Urban Outfitters, and the incredible artist Kosuke Kawamura to bring the monster-sized influence of Godzilla to this stylish collection,” said Lora Cohn, managing director of international licensing, Toho International.
Included in the collection are five singular designs including long and short sleeve cotton tees, a pullover hoodie, and a skate deck, each including expressive artwork and designs by Kawamura. The artwork seen throughout the line pays homage to “Godzilla in Hollywood” with a bold collage design in Kawamura’s signature artistic style.
“It was an honor to work with both Toho International and HUF Worldwide on this collection. The unique collage design seen on each item was inspired by Godzilla being a global pop-culture icon, and I hope fans enjoy this new perspective brought to this well-known classic character,” said Kosuke Kawamura.
