Backstage at Kenzo S/S 2018

July 12, 2017 2017年7月12日

Recently, Kenzo debuted their 2018 Spring/Summer men’s and women’s collection at Paris Fashion Week. The collection was inspired by renowned musician Ryuichi Sakamoto and supermodel Sayoko Yamaguchi, two Japanese icons. One of the most striking aspects of the Kenzo runway show was the casting – the entire roster of models was comprised solely of Asians. “We took a really directional casting this season,” said Humberto Leon, Kenzo’s co-designer. He says the deliberate casting of an all-Asian roster was a way for him and co-designer Carol Lim to reflect how they drew inspiration from Sakamoto and Yamaguchi and wasn’t exactly an act of fashion rebellion. Scroll down and check out more backstage snaps of the show by fashion photographer Yann Morrison below.
