KAWS Hosts a Dinner on the Field at Yankee Stadium

KAWS closed out a big week in New York sports with a private dinner on the field at Yankee Stadium to celebrate his upcoming MLB collection with two of the sport's most storied franchises: the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. Timed to the Subway Series and arriving just after Jay-Z's own takeover of the stadium, the evening brought friends of KAWS, and partners Complex and Fanatics, from music, art, fashion, and entertainment all together on the diamond. The dinner also served as a preview of the collaboration itself, which debuts in person at Fanatics Fest before launching globally—Topps trading cards included.
