"What I admire in Kenzo is its modernity, the incredible blend of coherence and heterogeneity. I love the personal way to mix seemingly different genres and styles, and the natural poetry that happens when they are assembled. Designing for Kenzo is a very strong emotion, a real challenge". Antonio Marras
The House of Kenzo opened in 1970. Graduate of Bunka Fashion College, prestigious Fashion School in Tokio, his creator and founder, Kenzo Takada quickly became one of the main precursors of the seventies. This young Japanese has surprised by the originality of his collections and has succeeded in creating a style whose name is famous the world over. As a contemporary designer, he enjoyed introducing more freedom into the movement thus yielding with the requirements of the travelling women. He livened up the Couture rules by charming with coloured, merry, spontaneous, poetic creations and by bringing a new freshness.
He made clothes for women, men, and kids and launched in 1988 his first perfume Kenzo de Kenzo which was an immediate success.
In 1993, the House joined the luxury group LVMH. Kenzo Takada then left in 1999 during a memorable party, paying him homage for his 30-year-old career.
Since 2003, the artistic directorship of Kenzo Women's Fashion has been in the hands of the Italian Antonio Marras.
Naturally akin to the Kenzo spirit, Antonio Marras has developed a rich, poetic world made of a diversity of influences and a fusion between fashion and other forms of art.
Inspired by craftsmanship, symbolic and cultural objects, Antonio Marras invents a contemporary language, creates clothes that tell stories, for women who love freedom and authenticy and are always questing for originality.
