KENZO Goes on a Parisian Safari for SS25
NIGO welcomed hundreds of guests to Jardin Du Palais Royal, continuing to bridge the gap between Paris and Tokyo with an adventurous co-ed line.
NIGO took us to the Parisian outdoors to present his Spring/Summer 2025 collection in style. Welcoming hundreds of guests to central Paris’ Jardin Du Palais Royal, he transformed the atmospheric venue with a 52-look collection that hauled KENZO signatures to safari.
NIGO continues to bridge the gap between Paris and Tokyo, connecting the two grandiose fashion capitals with expansive cultural references that maintain a chic outlook. Jardin Du Palais Royal was the perfect setting, and its majestic fountain set the tone for excitement. Attended by several a-listers, including Pharrell Williams and Maluma, KENZO SS25 was destined for the history books. The collection was split in half between menswear and womenswear, beginning with the former and toying with digitalized plant graphics, alfresco embroidery, and adventurous accessories.
Double-breasted suiting kicked things off with softened weeds and netted tanks, preparing to escape under beaming sunshine in KENZO-branded flip-flops. Three-piece sets arrived in muted green tones, accompanied by wide-brimmed hats and multifaceted sling bags. Tonal denim uniforms paired with embroidered neckties and full-zip hoodies, while Verdy’s cartoon tigers roared on cropped outerwear and clung to shoulders in plush formation. Pocketed safari vests were primed for exploration, completing the first segment with KENZO’s signature varsity jackets and patched metal-clasped bombers.
The womenswear side embraced the female form with delicate crotchet in a mirage of green shades, appearing on maxi dresses and crop tops with blooming florals. Silk suits glistened under the Parisian sunlight, coming alive with fringed bandeau tops and ribboned ornamentation. Flower petals cascaded across cutout dresses and collared outerwear, matched with platformed sandals and webbed bucket bags strung from leather straps.
