When NIGO’s Human Made partnered with Kentucky Fried Chicken, it set a new template for fast-food and fashion crossovers. The 11-piece capsule dropped via a one-day pop-up at an East Village KFC, where fans lined up early to meet NIGO and secure pieces of the collection. The collaboration wasn't just a novelty; it was rooted in NIGO's personal trip to KFC's Louisville headquarters to study the brand's archives. The resulting lineup utilized 1970s Americana and premium workwear to seamlessly blend Human Made's identity with the unmistakable heritage of Colonel Sanders.
