Kenzo's Gokan Kobo

[Lena]

strange world no?

The projects keep piling up chez Kenzo Takada, the designer who four years ago “retired” from his namesake house, now owned by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, only to return last year with a fashion and lifestyle brand called Gokan Kobo. Sources in Paris said Takada, who earlier this year did special packaging for cans and bottles of Coca-Cola Light (that’s French for Diet Coke), will be tapped by French mail-order giant 3 Suisses to create an affordable collection of clothes, accessories and housewares for its fall catalogue. He would be following in the footsteps of design greats such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Lacroix. Meanwhile, construction continues on Kenzo’s first Gokan Kobo boutique, in the former Kugel antiques gallery on the Rue Saint-Honoré, slated to open later this year.
