Who designed this?

It’s not bad.

Felipe Oliveira Baptista. And in my opinion, the best collection from Paris yet.

 

[Vitamine W]

Some really good propositions here, im very impressed.

So happy to see his work back on the runway. Loved his work at Lacoste. The horse prints and his take on the tiger motif.

It definitely feels very fashion! That’s what you get when you have a designer at the helm.
That being said, this feels weird considering the strategy of Kenzo. His new logo is fine but this collection feels totally disconnected with the audience Kenzo has build over the years.

I don’t want tiger sweaters on the runway but don’t want the runway to be a bubble in a sea of a very commercial offering. Except for some pieces, I don’t know who is this for.

 

[Yasouss]

I was really surprised to see this! his take on the tiger motif is quite nice and refreshing.

The men's outwear is really high fashion and beautiful. at their price points it would be nice to have some of the pieces. It is a departure from the youthful streetwear look they had before, but let's face it, it was getting a bit dated.

Upon a second revisit, I think this is great.

It strikes a really good balance of being “fashion” while also coming across as authentic and real, and without being childish. So much fashion now is just so over designed it almost looks fake. I like that this doesn’t fall into that trap. It also looks very adult and mature in a great way. For as covered of a silhouette as it is he is proposing, there’s something kind of sexy about it all. Casting also looks good and looks personal.

Hope he sticks around here and continues to do nice collections like this!

I didn't even realise that Kenzo had a new creative director....

Nonetheless, it's an interesting collection and he's definitely taking a more mature direction with Kenzo. The proportions and styling reminds of Anderson's menswear for Loewe, long silhouettes that would only look good on a certain *cough* model *cough* body type.

I don't know how I feel about everything but I guess it's too early to say. This brand does need something fresh and maybe he can put them back on people's radar.

LOVE this ! It’s a throwback to what Fashion used to be , beautiful, desirable clothes that look great in a show and will look great in the store. It’s adult but feels very fresh , it neither panders to any kind of age demographic, nor to Instagram and it feels personal , like the work of a designer as opposed to a marketing team. And somehow this all makes it look more relevant than a lot of other collections .

Kenzo was brilliant! Definitely the best outerwear of the season!

Felipe Oliveira Batista is very underrated, put him helming Chanel!

 

[TaylorBinque]

Oh I love this. I has that dramatic effect of Marras's Kenzo and the commercial quality of OC duo. Felipe is great at doing sportswear with luxurious and couture hands and I think this could be a wonderful fit for him.

Kenzo Takada: Japanese designer dies from Covid-19:

So sad to read about Kenzo passing away because of covid19.

 

[YohjiAddict]

I missed this collection when it debuted and I've got to say it definitely would have made my top 5 for the fall season. I can now understand why people were so dissapointed to see his bee-keeper centric spring show...

He definitely understands Kenzo's signature look and how to make it fresh for today, I hope he produces more shows like this one and his recent stumble is just that.

 

[helmutnotdead]

I'm just rewatching the collection and it's truly gorgeous. It's such a pity that his tenure was pretty f*cked up by the whole co-vid situation. He deserved better

ps: I think these b*tches got some karma with all these non-event collections by Nigo.
