Gucci Taps K-Pop Musician KAI for Capsule Collection

Following an unexpected team-up with The North Face, Gucci has now tapped K-pop star KAI for a capsule collection. The collaboration takes inspiration from teddy bears, which the SuperM and EXO member is known to be obsessed with.

The Alessandro Michele-designed range sees fun twists added to the Italian house's classic silhouettes. In leather accessories, a diverse selection of purses and crossbody bags features teddy bear illustrations printed atop the brand's monogram pattern. Each piece is complete with the double GG hardware in gold. The same theme is spotted on select wallets and cardholders.

As for apparel, the musician is seen wearing a striped knit sweater with a teddy bear splashed onto the front, as well as a monogram jacket with repeated prints of the character. For a more subtle look, a green flannel sports the cute animal on the chest pocket. Rounding out the lineup are embroidered jeans, as well as everyday staples like white T-shirts and sneakers.

Scroll through the gallery above for KAI's upcoming Gucci collaboration. The capsule, featuring both women's and men's ready-to-wear items, is set to release on April 15.
