New York made KOLJA ANNUSSEK. The first collection was shot there, on the street, with my own team. And it was in New York that I met Itsbizkit, who now wears a custom KA-SIG 001 and the KA Baller tee.

Who is Itsbizkit?
Before the music, Itsbizkit was one of the biggest voices in hip-hop media, a Long Island blogger with an audience most artists would envy. Then he stepped to the other side of the microphone. His breakout single “Outside Wit It” went from TikTok to the charts and got a remix with Jadakiss and DreamDoll; “Straight Cap”, “No TikTok” and “Hennything Is Possible” followed. He releases through his own imprint. He knows what branding is, because he built his on his own.
We met in New York
We met in New York, in the time I was there building the collection. The city is where KOLJA ANNUSSEK found its voice, and Itsbizkit is part of that chapter: someone who understood the pieces at first sight, because he lives in the culture they come from.
The pieces
His KA-SIG 001 is custom, like every piece in the signature series: cut for him, finished by hand, numbered, one of one. The KA Baller tee carries the emblem of the KA Baller, the black leather piece at the centre of the Paris showroom. Together they show the two sides of KOLJA ANNUSSEK: the signature piece made for one person, and the streetwear that carries the same name onto the street.

The KA family
Itsbizkit joins the circle of people who wear KOLJA ANNUSSEK because they wanted it: DJ Antoine on stage, Riyadh Al-Azzawi in London, Olesya Malinskaya in Sochi, Jeff Hamilton in Los Angeles. No sponsorships, no contracts.
See the pieces in Paris
The KA-SIG series, the KA Baller and the leather pieces, and the campaign work from New York and Los Angeles are on view in the KOLJA ANNUSSEK private showroom in Paris, by appointment only. Custom pieces are made to order; a piece bought in the showroom is final.
