KENZO

A style in its own right Each haute couture brand has its own style, and Kenzo is no exception. Kenzo Takada became interested in the world of fashion at a very young age. He chose to study fashion at a design school in Tokyo. In 1964, he left Japan to come to the fashion capital, Paris. At first, he simply sold sketches to big names in fashion. Success was a long time coming. But in 1970, the designer held his first fashion show at the Galerie Vivienne in Paris. He also opened his first boutique the same year. His style was unique and instantly recognizable, which piqued the curiosity of many fashion enthusiasts.

Kenzo's beginnings were just the assembly of scraps of fabric with colorful prints. We may think that it was ugly, but in reality it brought out Kenzo's creativity, it was the beginning of his adventure. Kenzo is a style in its own right. A true mix of cultures and color alliances, which he was able to transcribe through his men's and women's collections. Kenzo homme appeared in 1983. In addition to having unusual clothing designs, the locations chosen by the designer for the fashion shows were just as incongruous, such as circuses. In 1988, Kenzo decided to diversify. He launched his first perfume Kenzo de Kenzo, which had the success that we know today.

In 1993, the Kenzo brand was bought by the LVMH company and its creator Kenzo Takada retired six years later, in 1999. Today, the brand of clothing for men, women and children is continuing. Despite the absence of its creator and his extravagant tastes, the collections remain faithful to the creator's foundations. Outfits that are always as offbeat and surprising, which never cease to please. When a person wears Kenzo clothes, whether a man, a woman or a child, even as a non-connoisseur, you can directly recognize what Kenzo is. This brand is available in your Lothaire stores in Bordeaux and Périgueux.
