KENZO FALL-WINTER 2023 RUNWAY SHOW (Full Program)

For the KENZO Fall-Winter 2023 Women’s and Men’s Show, Artistic Director Nigo elaborates on both the similarities and differences between his own world and the legacy of Kenzo Takada.
The collection is simultaneously an exploration of his longstanding fascination with the interaction between British, American and Japanese street culture. Refining his overarching vision for the Maison, the collection builds on the archival backbone of his practice while introducing influences close to his own heart. In the Salle Pleyel, the 1966 Quartet plays string renditions of The Beatles in a reflection of the genre-spanning eclecticism of a collection that begins in the Swinging Sixties. A foundational era for Nigo, who was born in 1970, a vast part of his extensive archives of vintage clothes are devoted to the rocker and mod wardrobes of the time.
The spirit evolves into a study of Great British country attire expressed in a collaboration with Hunter. It inevitably echoes the legacy of Dame Vivienne Westwood, whose influence has been a constant in the career of Nigo. The formative elements are infused with the joie de vivre of Kenzo Takada’s work in the 1980s and underpinned by the conversation between traditional Japanese construction and authentic American workwear that supports Nigo’s structural framework at KENZO.

It's so great to have just ONE show and collection 🎉

[@jahnhall5684]

Super solid wearable pieces. Great color and texture. But 15 minutes of "Help" on strings is something none of us need.

[@andrewajjones122]

😁agreed 👍🏾

Amazing

[@TheSaintLeon]

Amazing and the tribute to the Beatles made me tear up. Such a blessing to have been able to partecipate to the show. This was truly beautiful. Kenzo will always be one of the shows I'm most excited for during PFW

[@CaptCrunch477]

That music ❤❤

[@snowsparkle7]

I WANT a trenchcoat with stripes and vest's back 😍

[@carltwidle9046]

All a bit mix and match. Some good styles and quality clothing. I liked the male model in the cream outfit, jacket and trousers with the nice light blue shoes. Very chic I thought. I love the Beatles, I'm older generation and I grew upwuth their music in the 1960s. I liked the classical accompanient to the show of their song Help.

[@thelowesttreeshavetops3541]

My favorite show for the season. The set, the music, the collection all gave warmth.

[@miyaoberman3755]

😍❣

[@billfleming6211]

Frivolous fun... Great fabrics But the audience... Thinking they don't know Kenzo at all.

[@BENNYYKWAI]

If those music was softer it could have been great .....

[@alexandreg1828]

5:22 If a Varsity jacket and a geisha girl dress had a baby called poncho. Trip NIGO and his team went hard on this collection. I´d rock a lot of kenzo if I was not too tall.

[@surajaku]

[@NyatshaneKAbale]

the music slaps

[@yakudzeSV]

Тюремно мир и времена декаданса …. Жесть одежда из пледов грозит всем, клеточка и полосочка. Спасибо правителям, пля в правильном направлении плывём

[@stavrospap3692]

the repetitive violin music was tiring

[@davegahan5908]

Please don't keep putting the camera on certain people in the audience, nobody cares who they are!

[@TSerrato]

You make hate the song, God! That was to much of the same lyrics.

[@nuardean6405]

Music so BORING

[@tony-kl1zf]

what?!?!?! its the beatles!!!

[@jahnhall5684]

@@tony-kl1zf if it were the beatles, i'd have been here for it...this, however, was a strings cover that lastest far too long. even the beatles would have been like "we need to change this up a bit". maybe kenzo couldn't afford the rights to any other song.

[@smol-nik9573]

From now on I hate help!
