The theme of the 2023AW collection is "The White Album", which explores the similarities and differences between his own worldview and Kenzo Takada's legacy by artistic director Nigo.
Rikako Yagi's expression, dressed in bold striped denim setups, is more and more innocent as the shooting progresses. On the back of the happy aura she releases, there is a view of work that says, "If you can add something to someone, even a little."

Culture and Technology passed down
A homage from Nigo to Kenzo Takada
Nigo's "KENZO" created an unknown world view by combining two elements in his own background in the 2023AW collection. One is a mods style featuring the British culture represented by The Beatles, as well as the band The Who, which Nigo is also inclined. The other is Japanese culture, such as the technique of "sashiko" and kimono, which are also used for kendo clothes. We re-edited them while offering a homage to Kenzo Takada's collection with "joie de vivre", and used them as new materials for nylon, denim, knit, jersey, etc.

The spirit of "KENZO" that feels like wearing
The motif is the Aiko Nic building in Paris.
The random striped jacket and skirt denim setup is inspired by the Aiko Nic architecture in Paris. Before explaining such a collection, I asked Mr. Yagi about his impressions he wore.――
"What should I say?"…It's strange. Rather than clothes, I felt like I was looking at icons and marks. When I wore it, I felt like I actually became an icon, "he said. By wearing it, the spirit of the brand, which was transmitted to the extent that it approached intuitive emotions, probably did so.
I put my respect into skateboard culture
Sneaker "KENZO-DOME" is now available.
The brand Philosophy also shines on the newly released sneakers "KENZO-DOME". The naming is based on respect for "DOME", a skateboarding spot on the premises of the Palace of Tokyo in Paris. He reinterpreted the skateboard culture of the 90's, combining flat outsole with elastic and flexible suede and gray leather material.
On this day, the 'KENZO Target' logo inspired by The Who and the new logo of the brand spread to leather accessories that shine on the T-shirt worn by Yagi. Enjoy the item with the code of "KENZO".

"I wish I could be a plus for somebody,"
Mission and happiness standing on the front stage
KENZO Shibuya PARCO store has a vivid color that will make you feel uplifting when you step in. The attitude of the brand, which continues to provide positive energy in fashion, also dwells in space.
In parallel with his work, Yagi says he is in the middle of writing a university graduation thesis, and says he wants to think about "happiness" in both work and thesis. "When I see the news that Japan has the lowest happiness among G7, I am studying the connection between happiness and the media at university. I'm embarrassed to say that I seem to have a happy way of thinking.……Even at work, I would be glad if I could add something to someone rather than having a specific target image as an actor. That's what I think." 22 years old, life-size words for the future are dazzling.
