Made In California: Kenzo RTW Spring/Summer 2014

For Kenzo’s Spring/Summer 2014 RTW collection, designers Carol Lim and Humberto Leon brought their sun-and-surf, California roots to the runway. The inspiration was the water, and the result was, well, mind-blowing—arguably the designers' strongest showing for Kenzo to date.

A fluid yet tailored collection, there were consistent riffs of the ocean with crashing, froth-like patterns and frilled edges lining easy separates. And, within the designers’ mission to dress you, they were also doing their part to bring awareness to ocean preservation—specifically, the environmental danger attached to overfishing. A win-win for all. Asked by a fashion reporter for his reaction to the collection, stylist Mel Ottenberg put it best: "Rihanna will definitely be wearing these clothes."
