Ambush

Ambush is the first major exhibition dedicated to the iconic Japanese streetwear and accessories brand—founded in Tokyo in 2008 by Yoon Ahn (Korean-American) and VERBAL (Japanese-Korean artist). A must-see for sneakerheads, fashion enthusiasts, and lovers of hip-hop, design, and architecture, it delves into the brand’s prolific archive. It debuted with “POW!” (pop-art/manga rings and earrings), a hip-hop hit thanks to Pharrell, NIG°, and Colette. It evolved by absorbing 1960s German-Swiss DIY rock, kitsch horror, surf/skate culture, and 1980s-1990s dystopian anime. Elite collaborations: Dior, Louis Vuitton, Nike, Sacai, Off-White, Billionaire Boys Club; backed by Kim Jones and Virgil Abloh.
