KENZO unveils its Spring-Summer 2026 campaign at Maxim’s, the venue where the last fashion show stood out.
Shot and directed by Victor Brun, the campaign highlights a collection shaped by artistic circles where fashion, art, and music collided—from Andy Warhol’s New York and the cultural magnetism of Studio 54 to the creative communities that continue to inspire NIGO’s universe today.
Building on Kenzo Takada’s instinctive approach to blending codes, NIGO reinterprets the House’s emblematic kimono shape into a modern statement. Crafted in Italy, the tailoring pieces are enhanced by refined details, with velvet and satin shawl lapels across both menswear and womenswear silhouettes.
This new collection is imbued with archival influences and showcases a new version of the emblematic KENZO Tiger. Expressed through a distinctive wardrobe featuring a wide range of jacquards and prints, this reinterpretation pays tribute to the House’s heritage.
Kenzo Striker, the new sneaker model for the season, draws inspiration from the bowling city of the Spring-Summer 2026 fashion show, reimagined in a contemporary aesthetic and designed for a lightweight feel.
The trompe-l’œil artwork, reworked from a 1972 archival knit, introduces a graphic and contrasting note to the silhouettes. The collection jumpers and cardigans come in pop and pastel color tones.
