Solange Performs at Humberto and Carol’s Last Show for Kenzo

For the ultimate collection, the Spring/Summer 2020 collection, creative directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim looked to the home of the brands founder Kenzo Takada, and more specifically to the surrounding seas of Japan where groups of strong, tenacious and modern-day super-heroes plunge daily to retrieve treasures at the bottom of the ocean.

Director Partel Oliva built a strange architecture where space is reconfigured in dramatic ways. Seascapes with stretched-out suns from photographer Yamazaki Hiroshi’s ‘Heliography’ and ‘Horizon’ series were stitched into a monumental landscape. Through long exposure, the Japanese photographer charted the course of the sun over the ocean.

Guadeloupean choreographer Léo Lérus imagined a retrospective procession of looks from the creative directors tenure at KENZO from 2012 until now. The show was accompanied by a special live performance and score from friend of the brand Solange.
