Kenzo

The Kenzo firm was founded in 1970. Of course, in Paris, that city where magic seems to arise. But who is the face behind this signature? Learn more about its history ...

There is no denying its obvious Japanese essence. And it is that the founder of the brand was nothing more and nothing less than Kenzo Takada .

Kenzo was born in 1939 in Japan. From very early on, he felt the call of creation and the world of fashion.

Later, Takada made the decision to move to Paris to sell the fashion that he created there. His garments, full of color and patterns, revolutionized the world of catwalks and ready-to-wear.

Today there must be few people who do not know its most emblematic fragrance: Flower by Kenzo , an avant-garde floral and oriental Eau de Parfum that is represented by an elegant and simple bottle with a poppy. Today we can find a great universe revolving around this creation.

Each and every one of its fragrances transmit freedom and creativity.

In 1993, Takada sold the firm to the LVMH group and to this day it continues with the help of artistic director Felipe Oliveira Baptista, who tries to preserve what characterized the Kenzo Takada brand. Sadly the creator passed away in 2020 at the age of 81. Even so, his legacy is still present in each bottle and each garment of the brand.
