Kenzo has announced that its forthcoming Paris presentation on January 25 will focus on menswear, in a break from its coed presentation style.

The Nigo-led French house will expand its women’s line with a dedicated FW25 women’s show during Paris’s Women’s Fashion Week in March. In a statement provided to WWD, Kenzo said “This decision follows three years of creative growth under the artistic director Nigo, who has laid a solid foundation for Kenzo’s menswear.”

“With the men’s wardrobe now firmly established and evolving with a strong and cohesive identity, the house is now looking forward to taking Kenzo women in a bold new direction, showcasing designs that build on the house’s legacy while embracing a dynamic and modern perspective” they continued.

Kenzo has reportedly built a new creative team to focus on women’s development alongside Nigo, ahead of the separate presentation. However, the house plans to return to a coed lineup for Spring 2026 later this Summer.

The Japanese designer took the reigns at Kenzo in 2021, before which, he was known widely as the founder of cult-back streetwear label A Bathing Ape. His appointment marked the label’s first Japanese director since 1999 when the founding designer Kenzo Takada stepped down.

Since then Nigo has brought a refreshing, yet well-aligned energy to the brand, bringing in collaborators from his universe like VERDY and honoring the founder’s Japanese heritage.

Stay tuned to Hypebeast for updates on the forthcoming Kenzo presentations and the latest coverage of Paris Fashion Week.
