KENZO


Company History

The House of KENZO was founded in Paris in 1970 by Takada Kenzo. Kenzo, a native of Himeiji, Japan, attended Tokyo’s prestigious Bunka Fashion College as one of its first male students before making the move from Tokyo to Paris, where he opened his first boutique, “Jungle Jap.” He surprised the fashion world with his originality and the apparent celebration of diverse cultures, nature and colors in his designs.

Following his success in the 1970s, he launched a series of new collections for men, women and children before creating KENZO PARFUMS in 1987 and launching his first women’s fragrance in 1988, “ça sent beau,” which was an immediate success. Since 1988, KENZO PARFUMS has been the creator of some of the most groundbreaking fragrances of the past decades, such as Flower by Kenzo, Kenzo Amour, L’eau par Kenzo, and Summer by Kenzo.
In 1993, the KENZO brand joined the LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton company.
In 1999, Takada Kenzo decided to leave the artistic direction of the KENZO brand and set out on a new journey in life. This year also celebrated Kenzo’s 30th anniversary in the industry. Odile Lobadowsky was named president and CEO of KENZO PARFUMS and in the following year, Patrick Guedj was named creative director.
The year 2000 marked the birth of FlowerbyKenzo, a fragrance that invented the scent of the poppy, and quickly became a classic in the perfume world. Since then KENZO PARFUMS continues to express the original values of the brand: attachment to nature, poetry, mixing of East and West and a playful marriage of contrasts. These elements along with the vagabond spirit of the brand are present in all forms of KENZO PARFUMS, from its magnificent installations of poppy fields around the world, to its faithful dedication to every detail of a fragrance creation.
In 2001, a skincare line, KENZOKI, was launched. Built around four Asian plants (Rice Steam, Ginger Flower, Bamboo Leaf and White Lotus), the range brought a new approach to skincare; a marriage of pleasure and efficiency.
In 2008, KENZO PARFUMS celebrated its 20th anniversary by creating a limited edition fragrance, Vintage Edition, which celebrated the 1970s, the decade in which the brand was founded.

Alice in Wonderland: Storybook fantasy at the Kenzo spring/summer show
Antonio Marras, the designer behind Kenzo, presented a storybook fashion fantasy in his latest collection, inspired by Alice in Wonderland
In pictures: Kenzo s/s 2009 collection
The designer, Antonio Marras, invited his audience into a storybook fashion fantasy, inspired by 'Alice in Wonderland' and Victorian flower-collectors, in his spring/summer 2009 collection for Kenzo, at the Paris prêt-à-porter season.
Bouquets of flowers, botanical embroideries and satin, chiffon and gabardine in mossy and pastel shades, recreated the dreamy sauntering of "Alice" in a sun-withered garden.
Against a set of larger-than-life wildflower books, piled up as if on a drawing-room table, the models paraded in watercolour florals and brighter, herbaceous border-patterns. They resembled "flower fairies", with their piled-up hair strewn with feathers and their faces made-up with sparkle eye-shadows and shimmering rose blush-on.
Smock-dresses came with delicate bodices embroidered with crystals and pearls. Longer, empire-line dresses, with rise-and-fall hemlines which disclosed petticoats of lace and flounces, had shoulder-straps embellished with tiny shells and beads.
Puffball dresses were crocheted in gold-tinged yarn, scattered with sequins, over tutu-underskirts, while jewel-embroidered knits were worn with loose-cut trousers, tapering to the ankle.
Semi-sheer organza and layers of tulle echoed the passion for transparency which has been a recurrent theme of these Paris collections.
In the show's finale, the books on the set opened, as if by magic, to reveal "pop-up" cutouts of flowers and butterflies.
Marras, 47, who also shows his own line at Milan Fashion Week, is one of fashion's most poetic and creative designers. Married, with two young sons, he divides his time between his birthplace of Alghero and the fashion capitals of Milan and Paris. He showed his first Kenzo women's collection in March, 2004.
On Tuesday last week, it was announced he had been appointed to take over creative direction of all Kenzo collections including menswear, children's wear, accessories and homewares. His career as a designer hired to inject fresh blood into a brand, has been happier than that of the Italian designer, Alessandra Facchinetti, who has been displaced from the famed house of Valentino after only a year.
The axe fell in Paris on Friday, soon after she presented her second ready-to-wear collection for Valentino, which was acquired by the private equity firm, Permira, in mid-2007.
The Paris season, last of the four fashion weeks which preview next spring/summer, ends on Sunday with shows by Louis Vuitton, designed by the American, Marc Jacobs; Lanvin; and Miu Miu, designed by Miuccia Prada.
