Stylist Takahiro Suehiro's,
2023SS Trend Forecast in Shibuya PARCO

KENZO, which made a big splash in September 2021 with the appointment of NIGO of HUMAN MADE as artistic director, will offer a lineup of floral and "elephant" motifs for spring/summer 2011, as well as a number of items featuring stripes, checks, and other patterns. The lineup for spring/summer 2011 includes many items featuring florals, stripes, checks, and other patterns, as well as "elephants," the favorite animal of the brand's founder, Kenzo Takada.

I think the brand has become very exciting since NIGO-san became the artistic director. Of course the clothes themselves are cute, but the styling of the collection is also very cute, and I pay attention to it every time I see it.

Suehiro's eyes sparkled as she spoke. She picked up a pair of coveralls embroidered with floral motifs.

This set-up skillfully mixes the culture that Mr. NIGO has cultivated in the back streets with the glamour and luxury of the KENZO brand. The essence of Mr. NIGO's style can be seen in every detail, such as the charming red buttons on the sleeves.

Recently, old clothes of DC brands from the old days are popular, aren't they? The times have come full circle, and I look at these clothes with fresh eyes, but it's interesting to see that KENZO's recent clothes also have the mood of those days.

As Mr. Suehiro says, "It's strange how the work feel fades away when you wear it, even though it's workwear." The detailed flower embroidery adds softness to the outfit.

It seems that young children will be able to easily get to grips with it because the "work" feeling is not as strong as it could be. The embroidery is based on a flower motif, but it is not too cute, so I think men can wear it naturally. A shirt can be worn as an inner layer to add a slightly crisp mood. I think it would also look cute with a tie.
