Kenzo Takada background

Kenzo is a magician of colour. Since the mid-1960s, when he moved from Japan to the city of Paris. He has devoted himself to the creation of fashion design. Celebrating youth, pleasure and liberty with a kaleidoscope of colors and brilliant patterning, Kenzo has simultaneously liberated and purified forms, introducing Japanese harmony and rigour to his designs for the Paris catwalk.

Kenzo’s credo is both simple and true: ‘The world is beautiful.’ Mixing a decorative array of global influence, from his own Japanese heritage to ancient Rome, form the steppes of Asia to native America, the art of Kenzo is a joyful celebration of life itself.
