KENZO SS16 PRINTS
Kenzo's 2016 Spring Summer collection prints campaign.
We dive into some of Kenzo's most creative campaign films in honour of Founder, Kenzō Takada, who passed away earlier this month. Born in Himeji, Japan on Feb 27, 1939, Kenzo became interested in design after reading his sisters fashion magazines. Though he studied literature to please his parents, he dropped out and applied to Bunka Fashion College to become one of the first male students. In 1960 he won the Soen Prize and began his career designing girls clothing for the Sanai department store. His life changed when in preparation for the 1963 Tokyo Olympics, his apartment block was torn down and he was given 10 months rent in compensation. He used the money to travel to France by boat and the rest is history...
