For the KENZO Fall-Winter 2026 campaign, Artistic Director Nigo returns to a place central to the brand’s story: Kenzo Takada’s former residence. 

Hidden in the Bastille neighbourhood in Paris, the house was conceived by founder Kenzo Takada as an urban oasis, a genuine space for rest, reflection, creativity, and celebration.  

Photographed and directed by Laura Jane Coulson, the campaign captures American actors Lukita Maxwell and Nico Hiraga in playful moments of everyday life, where lightness meets a subtle sense of humor.

Through a contemporary lens, Nigo revisits references from both the Maison’s history and a wider spectrum of cultural codes, extending the dialogue at the heart of KENZO: between France and Japan, tradition and reinvention, elegance and humor. 

Drawing inspiration from Americana codes and its vintage-inflected wardrobe, the collection explores check and stripe patterns, a signature House language reimagined by Nigo through modern, refined silhouettes. 

Inspired by American university codes, the Ivy League aesthetic dear to Nigo is reinterpreted within a contemporary wardrobe.

The 1986 Kite bag makes its return to the collection, reimagined in new formats and contemporary colorways.

Leather loafers and subtly signed belts, create a refined accessories selection.
