The first three stories of the Autumn-Winter 2022 campaign, shot for KENZO by British photographer Thurstan Redding against the backdrop of iconic Parisian locations, will appear in the first series released in June 2022.
From the moment he arrived at KENZO, Artistic Director Nigo has demonstrated a distinct cultural language, one that he shares with the House’s founder, Kenzo Takada – based in an understanding of the synthesis between Japanese and Western sartorial traditions, and fundamentally, a common attitude towards fashion: the belief that what you see on the catwalk must lend itself to real life. In keeping with this philosophy, Nigo has conceived a continuously unfolding story for KENZO: a thoughtful wardrobe punctuated by monthly limited editions that is both very true to Kenzo Takada’s legacy and to the new designer’s creative vision.
