“Kenzo’s Latest Collection at Paris Fashion Week Showcases Edgy Streetwear Revival”
Paris (AP) – Kenzo debuted a bold new look at Paris Fashion Week, swapping out its iconic jungle prints for a more punk-inspired aesthetic. The LVMH-owned brand’s latest women’s show in eight years embraced a rebellious spirit with sharp tailoring, underground vibes, and a hint of British irreverence. Tuxedo jackets with shawl collars transitioned into kimono shapes, harem pants hung low, and hints of lingerie peeked out from waistbands. The show’s soundtrack included tracks from Sex Pistols, Patti Smith, and Blondie, setting a mood that felt more reminiscent of East London cool than traditional Parisian chic.
In the absence of creative director Nigo, the new womenswear studio led by former Givenchy designer Joshua A. Bullen took the spotlight. The collection featured a mix of Savile Row-inspired structure, deconstructed streetwear elements, and subversive details, signaling a fresh direction for the brand. As a playful finale, guests were gifted with T-shirts and crayons in metallic envelopes adorned with Kenzo’s latest emblem: a wide-eyed rabbit, symbolizing energy and movement.
At Kenzo, the exploration of the tension between past and present isn’t just conceptual—it’s embodied in the clothing itself.
