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.
