Kenzo’s Last Look

A detective-inspired Kenzo menswear line premiered at Paris Mens Fashion Week for fall and winter 2011-2012. Antonio Marras, the Kenzo mens designer created an English inspired line that drew influence from the?gentleman farmer to the London bad boy and results in a look that comes off as an updated version of A Clockwork Orange meets nonchalant luxe.

Often paired with bowler hats, the jackets are the true heros of the collection. Put together in?constructed as well as deconstructed?versions, cut free hand or perfectly?tailored, in classic wool or in Milano?jersey, they punctuate the collection?while giving the KENZO man an easy?and customisable wardrobe.?Sometimes mixed with denim,?in different textures and colours,?sometimes in more classic silhouettes,?the jacket plays a key role in the?conception of this chic and relaxed?masculine wardrobe.

Kenzo’s First Look

The fabrics used within the collection are notable for their flowers, block colors, plaids and?stripes, forming contrasts and?harmonies in the patterns. Creative, yet laid back – polite, yet a bit diabolical, each look expresses the “smart, casual” vibe for the 2011-2012 Kenzo menswear line.
