At Kenzo, The Living Is Easy

By Timothy Hagy

PARIS, July 4, 2005 - The Kenzo Homme collection was shown on a rainy Monday morning in the spacious Atelier Richelieu where white lawn chairs framed the walls, and trays laden with strawberries, apricots and strong caf� filtr� awaited guests.

Models with hair slicked back meandered around long rows of editors and buyers.

Inspired by sportswear of the 20s and 30s, the collection mixed together various ethnic motifs - South American prints, Asian kimono stitching, and Spanish toreador sashes to come out light and carefree.

From stylized prints to colorfully lined jackets, to a pale raspberry trench coat slashed off at the waist, the clothes mirrored the soundtrack �Summertime and the Living is Easy�.

Program notes described the look as �nonchalant elegance�, and there�s nothing wrong with that.
