We still have a little over three months until the official release of Kenzo x H&M, but we’re happy to report that a few images of the upcoming collaboration have surfaced! What is being served up as a first look is right in line with what Carol Lim and Humberto Leon have been creating for the iconic fashion house since they were appointed to the Creative Director position—fierce prints, head-turning colors, and in-your-face logos:
“Lots of customers only know the side of Kenzo we worked on, but we’re celebrating the brand’s 50th anniversary,” revealed Leon to Vogue.com. “We’ve kept Kenzo Takada close to our hearts; he comes to all our shows. We want to do something that makes him feel proud.”
And for the collection’s lookbook, Lim and Leon have brought on the world’s most stylish tastemakers and their fashionable friends: artist Ono Ekombo, activist Amy Sall, makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench, and more. Of the duo’s choices, Leon said, “People we admire, icons in their own fields, people who are influential beyond their fashion sensibility.”
“This is just the beginning,” stated Leon. “We really put our heart and soul into how it will look. We just love what they do.” We cannot wait to see the whole collection!
