Freedom, color and joy infuse Kenzo Fall-Winter 2026 presentation 

 The Fall-Winter 2026 collection is a homecoming, inspired by the former residence of Kenzo Takada in Paris’ Bastille neighborhood.

Nigo invites guests to immerse themselves in the peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by bamboo and a koi carp pond. The Creative Director honors the spirit of the founder, continuing a dialogue between French and Japanese aesthetics.       

In this oasis, women’s and men’s silhouettes revel in the codes of Kenzo’s success in a mixing of cultures. Japanese denim has a sunbleached patina, kimono inspired jackets are joined by classic Italian tailoring and Chinese ‘pankou’ detailing. Touchstones from Americana surface in varsity jackets and embroidered cowboy shirts. The archives are revisited as the Kenzo Jungle tiger from the 1980s springs back, along with floral patterns on organza skirts from Spring-Summer 1994. Bi-color suits return in new combinations of Prince of Wales wool and deep navy hues. 

The letter ‘K’ is featured to adorn bold checkerboard knits and stripes. The graphic letter is also reworked in the Maison’s new signature, the Kenzogram. Reflecting the intimate space Kenzo Takada’s home, embroidered ballerina flats and ultra-light slipper-like loafers are designed for both indoor and outdoor wear.  Just as the clothing is inhabited, bags travel through time, made for movement. The 1986 Kite bag returns to center stage in contrasted color-block leather, evoking a kite and the sentiment of joyful, colorful freedom.
