In 1970, the young Japanese designer Kenzo Takada opened his first
boutique, Jungle Jap, in Paris and revolutionised the fashion
world. His colourful, ethnic, and nomadic- influenced collections,
made with luxurious and vibrantly patterned textiles, tweaked the
conventions of haute couture while maintaining the quality of
traditional European clothing houses. He was influenced by Parisian
fashion and Japanese kimonos, boldly mixing colours and prints,
cuts and materials. His vibrant palette and pattern combinations
were joyful and whimsical, and very different from the subtle
tailoring of the traditional Paris couturier. In his inspired blend
of the opulent and the exotic, he developed a signature style and
found early success. With stunning photography, and over 300
sketches from Kenzo's private collection, this book traces more
than forty years of his creative output. It includes photographs
from his high-energy runway shows, in addition to personal
photographs, and a behind-the-scene look at the creation of a
spectacular wedding dress, opening a window on the creative process
and capturing Kenzo's energy, vision, and presence. Superbly
illustrated throughout with pencilled and hand coloured sketches,
swatched drawings, and previously unpublished archival photographs,
the authors explore Kenzo's career, tracing the evolution of his
cult label in a look-book of visual exuberance.
