Kenzo is inscribed on our collective memory.
Since its creation in 1970, the legendary prints, the gathering of motifs, the mix of fabrics, the wordplay and the spirit of Kenzo made this Parisian fashion house the spokesman for aesthetics, divergence and universal culture.
As a precursor to the fusing of cultures and influences in fashion, the brand knew how to evolve and enrich itself with a new exoticism in the color of our times.
The House was established to be at once present and elsewhere, and pursues a quest to travel through realms both real and imaginary, expressing itself with a previously unknown language. Its pieces marry the linearity of cuts to a richness of materials and color variations, granting the freedom to wear pieces creatively while allying the power of tradition to the elegance of a new romanticism.
The designs of the House translate to a dynamic vision of the world founded in joie de vivre, harmony, creative energy and universality. In the prevailing uniformity, this fashion institution responds with eclecticism and poeticism. Its mission corresponds to that of the public, "proclaiming its personality, celebrating differences and affirming its style," to that of a being that is sensual and conscious, free and playful, and representative of the present that incarnates the temporal message: "Kenzo, the world is beautiful."
A visual dialogue between two great designers - Kenzo Takada, founder and designer of the brand from 1970to 1999, and Antonio Marras, in charge of the artistic direction since 2003-this first monograph about Kenzo portrays a house sensitive to a fundamentally current philosophy.
In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the brand, and influenced by the new contributions of disciplines as diverse as art, fashion, literature and performance, this work is an invitation to travel, to discover, to exchange, and to begin the next decade with fantasy and freedom.
