Kenzo Shirt .

Kenzo Top Section:

Kenzo's motifs are mostly floral with leaves. His perfume bottle is actually a leaf. Kenzo also likes animal prints, tartans and daring colour combinations.

Kenzo's main predilection is for simplified child-like shapes like pullover vests, knee length shorts, mini coats, sweater dresses, made fresh by such foreign nuances as Kimono sleeves (unusual in knitted clothing) and oversized berets.

Kenzo follows the principle of flat patterns like used for kimonos. He widens armholes and modifies shoulders. Kenzo is influenced by folk costumes and interprets varied dress such as Spanish boleros, Austrian loden jackets, Indian trousers, Chinese tunics, Bedouin blankets and Breton aprons.

Kenzo Takada was born in Kyoto, in the Hyogo region of Southern Japan in 1940. He opened his first boutique called "Jungle Jap" selling loose casual clothes in 1971. In 1975 Kenzo's first collections were shown in Tokyo. The Kenzo brand is known for its unique and innovative style.
