Kenzo

Posted by PALETTEartalive on October 13, 2023

Just three years ago, October. It was a sudden obituary.

I knew it on the Twitter (now X) timeline.

Designer Kenzo Takada died.

Certainly, at that time I was leaving my friend and I felt lightly talking about that. I was a little interested in him when he told me that he was actually attending the same university as himself. When I got home, I decided to check it out. At the time I knew only the design of the famous tiger, I was shocked by the creation he worked on.

Oriental elements, glossy colors, ethnic patterns, gorgeous gorgeous, and no drills. It was a moment when my bad image of my brand changed. I knew this was the beginning of Kenzo. I thought it was something I had to tell to posterity.

Soon the time passed. Around the fall of 2022.

Also, news related to the timeline (at this time, but still Twitter) has jumped in.

NIGO® became a designer of "Kenzo"

The person at the forefront of the street culture was very excited to create a luxurious fashion. However, I was worried that the street would be dyed at the same time. But when I saw the show, my worries ended up in no worries. The debut collection incorporated not only the original essence of KENZO, such as glittering items and items similar to Japanese kimonos, but also Nigo's commitment. It was a wonderful creation that combined the street and luxury well.

I thought it was cool as a fashion.
