Tonight, the exhibition KENZO FOREVER, NO? was unveiled at the "swimming pool" of the Villa Noailles, in tandem with Hyères, the 29th International Festival of Fashion and Photography in Southern France. If you've been following our blog posts today, you'll notice that Opening Ceremony founders/Kenzo creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon have been at the forefront of the celebrated festival, moonlighting as both jury presidents and hosts of said exhibition.
The show features a constantly rotating, mirrored display of 12 archived pieces from the French fashion house, as well as looks from the most recent Fall/Winter collection. The silhouettes serve to recast the history of founder Kenzo Takada’s dreamy color landscape and reinvigorate, as Humberto puts it, "a constant and active conversation between past and present."
The Kenzo installation will be open to public from April 19 through May 29
