Kenzo - Collection spring/summer 2015 in Paris

A skate park in Paris is the chosen setting for the Kenzo spring-summer 2015 collection, with big screens and concrete pavement. The surprises come from exaggerated volume, some very Japonese inspired, with kimono styles and samourai trousers. The washed-out denim made a new appearance, mixed with white lace. The urban and relaxed allure of the shirts and of the pyjama outfits will certainly be the new “it-pieces” for the teenages and fans of Kenzo. Interview: Humberto Leon:You know what’s really nice is before us and after us, there’s a tonne of kids in here that are going to be using this, and I think the energy of the kids, is something that we really wanted to represent, it’s that innocence, and this idea of purity, and really showcasing the energy, which is really exciting. Carol Lim: We used a lot of broidery anglaise, we used a lot of weaving, a lot of different things and I think when you see it from afar it looks one thing – maybe lace and when you come closer, you discover that there’s obviously a pattern inside and so; we love that complexity. We pay homage to Mr Kenzo Takada and we never forget that, and I think you see the volume, so there was some inspiration from that as well.
