Kenzo, Darling

I do love Kenzo, but this season, my love seemed to flourish. If you saw Kenzo Spring 2011 RTW Menswear in action, on the runway, you would have noticed the women walking down the runway alongside the men (while wearing the men's clothing). The women were walking the runway to show that the men's clothing not only was for men, but fitted women as well. Antonio Marras (creative director behind Kenzo) stated, "That's the freedom of Kenzo, the breaking of rules". They've been an awfully lot 'breaking of rules' lately......I LIKE IT!

I like the way they Incorporated their native Tokyo vibes in this collection. It bring something new and and fresh to the table, and quite frankly, i find myself wanting more. More east-Asian influence on Fashion please! I really enjoy it when i can tell that a certain culture is behind the clothes. It gives the collection a more personal and emotional feel.

Do you feel it? Do you feel the Asian vibes? No? Well ok, I'll admit there's also a little Mediterranean mixed in there, but i still think the Asian part overpowers it. All the usage of nudes in this collection were perfect, not too much, not too little (that rucksack is legendary, I've actually been wanting a rucksack....). The most interesting pieces, in my opinion, were the 2nd and 3rd pictures.

The 2nd picture's horizontal navy and white pants really struck me as odd. I haven't seen horizontal stripes for such a long time, it was actually pretty weird looking at them. I like them, though. I hope horizontal stripes are making a comeback.......And the 3rd picture! I liked the idea of a patterned cardigan, on a same patterns...sweater? Ya its a Sweater. I have no idea what makes that certain pattern so appealing to my eyes....This collection was a host too some strange (yet very appealing) ideas. Kenzo, darling, you have yet to displease me.
