Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, of Opening
Ceremony fame, are keeping Kenzo in all the
cool girls’ wardrobes.
THE KENZO STORY
Before finding success, Kenzo founder Kenzo
Takido, on a limited budget, quenched his thirst
to create by searching flea markets for fabrics.
This resulted in boldly contrasting fabrics
clashing together on a single garment — an
aesthetic that would soon become synonymous
with the now world-renowned It label.
Under the dynamic direction of
Opening Ceremony’s Humberto
Leon and Carol Lim, those
original archives of Takido’s
work continue to inspire
the Kenzo look today.
THIS SEASON AT KENZO
Yes, there are signature
prints, cult sweatshirts and
T-shirts, all as cool as ever,
but for SS15 Kenzo is
spruced up with the
elegance dial turned up to
full: think chic ’60s-inspired
shifts, wide-leg trousers and
voluminous skirts. It’s Kenzo as
you’ve never seen it before, and
we can’t get enough!
