Rina Fukushi x KENZO/alexanderwang | This spring, we look for the essence that willing to express ourselves.

She wears freedom at KENZO.
A new door begins to open

It was more than 50 years ago that designer Kenzo Takada set up a boutique in Paris and presented his first collection. KENZO's positive energy and free-spirit spirit, such as a bold combination of colorful flower prints and a relaxed silhouette inspired by Japanese floor planes, bring sensation to the Parisian mode world and grow into "KENZO of the World". The keywords "color", "travel", and "nature" that evoke the identity of the bold and borderless brand are still firmly inherited today. In 2017, Rina Fukushi walked KENZO's runway (2018SS) in a vivid purple mini-dress. "When I wear KENZO clothes, I feel very positive. The unique colors and patterns that make you look special are "KENZO Magic". Since I have appeared in fashion shows mainly in Paris, Milan, and New York, I often went abroad with a lot of model work, but when I travel, I sometimes get a glimpse of things like personality and personality that I don't know yet, and I always have a sense of openness. I feel that it is very similar to the emotions that arise when I wear KENZO fashion with bold colors and patterns."

Modern reinterpretation

"I really like the length of this skirt. A relaxed material of a knitted fabric that looks cute to girls and looks cute. I thought it would be nice to have a pair of knee-length boots with them, so I thought it would be nice." The set-up of the summer kit worn by Mr. Fukushi was reinterpreted from the KENZO flower print archive and arranged into a hazy "Blurred Flower" print. Enjoy it with a casual and urban chic outfit.

"I think this spring I would like to wear clothes that have a slightly mature and feminine impression, such as a smooth shirt. I also love vintages, and I often wear retro feeling clothes. The set-up of this flower pattern is really cute, with a vintage taste," says Fukushi. The store also offers a wide lineup of relaxing fit clothes that can be worn in gender fluids. Color palettes, such as yellow, pink, Peer Purple and Pistachio Green, are also distinctive.

Enjoy without fear of being like yourself-When you wear colorful KENZO fashion, such a message comes to your heart. Mr. Fukushi himself asked what color he enjoys on a daily basis. "As an individual, I like light blue. I especially like pale blue stripes, and I have a lot of striped shirts. Of course, I also like red and primary colors! In summer, I want to play in color. If you compare yourself to color, green. I don't know if it's a personal color or aura, but it's often said that "green looks good." My personal desire is to be a person who suits white (laughs)."
