Hook, Line, And Sweatshirts: Kenzo Spring/Summer 2014

Despite constantly traversing the Atlantic Ocean between Paris and New York, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon’s hearts have always stayed loyal to the Pacific. While the duo's previous Kenzo seasons have reinvented label founder Kenzo Takada’s “Jungle Jap” aesthetic—bringing together East Asian and safari vibes through bold prints, colors, and volume—for Spring/Summer 2014, the pair injected the Parisian ready-to-wear empire with some cool California ease. Fluid and deconstructed, Carol and Humberto’s salute to sun and surf is apparent in both the collection’s form and content: think unfinished hems, graphic strokes, and hand-scribbled text. In other words, silhouettes you'll want to live in. 

Yet the collection’s tidal theme extends beyond its rich blue hues and incorporation of neoprene—the designs also serve to highlight a global problem: the dangers of overfishing and marine pollution. The fish capsule collection, with its "splashy" prints, speaks to Kenzo’s partnership with the Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE), a conservation charity calling for the active protection of the world’s oceans.
