 Kenzo Spring Summer 2021 

Honey bee A Tiger 

Paris, September 2020 

I have never begun an assortment with such countless inquiries before me thus many blended emotions about the present and what's to come. Unquestionably nobody can anticipate that straight answers should the current circumstance. The world is lost and everybody should attempt to discover a type of sense (and conceivable request) in it. How might one characterize and claim to offer responses to a reality that nobody comprehends or completely understands? How might one finish up a circumstance that is a long way from terminating and in which the outcomes are difficult to get a handle on? The world is sick, the world is dying, yet it is as yet alive. Also, as long as there is life there is trust. An idealistic answer should accompany a specific level of realism. Anyway, what would be an ideal next step? How would we proceed onward? How might we help individuals? make them dream? give them trust and simultaneously encourage their lives. 

The references, thoughts, and ideas of this assortment are as mixed, shifted, and differentiated as the perspectives, that I experienced since the start of the pandemic. Polarities have never been so noticeably differentiated and unforgiving. The world is crying, so are the blossoms in all the prints we have produced for the assortment. Recorded Kenzo poppies and hortensias were given an advanced crying impact. From blossoms, the base sensation of assurance and casings came a tribute to the honey bees, the controllers of the planet. Presently, like never before we are overpowered by a need to keep moving to be careful and ensure our reality. Honey bees and the beekeepers with their entrancing attire and caps that reverberation so unequivocally the delicacy and distance forced and required today. Heading for good things… a delusion of dreams, expectation, fervor, and revelation. We won't surrender that. Garments that change themselves to adjust to all circumstances. The completely covered and secured becomes delicate and bare, trying risk and rules. 

Kenzo has consistently been about fun, festival, and hopefulness. These yearnings were unadulterated fuel in the inventive cycle. We needed to put that crude, challenging, and inquisitive energy into the garments and everything identified with the assortment. Practically like a hopeful adaptation of a troublemaker. The time has come to take a gander at things contrastingly and from new viewpoints. Time to pull everything separated and set up it back again in an amazing, free, and imaginative yet important way. 

Again the polarities to representation a festival of life that is both : 

cheerful/melancholic, high/low, covered/bare, fragile/intense, 

unfortunate/idealistic, insurance/openness, inadvertent/controlled, 

shocks/sober mindedness and quietness/development. 

Be mindful, Be daring
