kenzo knitwear





 

With yellow jacquard with a leopard print, and 3D green crocodile knits, knitwear is going wild this season.  With pop colors and animal prints, Kenzo’s original knits are trapped in this new collection.  Let’s follow the trail.



It all started in the Seventies with Jungle Jap (Kenzo Takada’s brand before he created Kenzo) and his colorful knits. 

 Kenzo incarnated the pop aspect of this new knitwear and became a reference.  Ethnic patterns, large flowers and bright colors combined in his knits


 His collars, sleeves and hems were often ribbed in contrasting colors, like a sweatshirt, but knit.  His sweaters were worn over a dress shirt or other long-sleeved shirt, launching layering, a look that is still with us today!  Another trick up Kenzo’s sleeve, another emblematic piece: the sweater with kimono sleeves.  This was the perfect mix of Japanese culture and French style that expressed the brand’s very essence, and this new cut marked hearts and minds, and fashion alike.

 The 100% wool sweater, embroidered with the feline, has come to symbolize the brand and its renewal.
