This DNA is that of Jungle Jap, the label created in Paris in 1970 by Mr Kenzo Takada. The Japanese young man - hooked on urban savannahs - didn't care about conventions of High Fashion and let loose his fantasy to demonstrate one can be creative while being accessible to most people. From his first show on in the Galerie Vivienne (where he also opened his first boutique), his style became an epitome of the times. The brand made of boldness and elegance was renamed “Kenzo” in the early 80's and from then on inspired a new generation of young women. Spontaneous, authentic, free-spirited and cheeky - they are genuine panthers willingly tamed by the Kenzo universe - today just as they were yesterday.

"Kenzo Takada came to Paris from Tokyo with bold new ideas for fashion and established an international company full of vibrant energy and color. We are thrilled to take Kenzo, a source of great inspiration for us, into the future with our generation and the next in mind," said Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, Creative Directors of Kenzo.
