In 2012, designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim unveiled a knitted sweater with a tiger graphic on it for Kenzo's Fall 2012 collection. [27] [28] Leon wanted to make a sweatshirt version of the sweater for him to wear. [29] [30] Despite initial resistance from Kenzo's design team, [31] [32] the tiger sweatshirts became extremely popular, with the initial run of sweatshirts selling out within hours at Kenzo's Paris location. [31] Since 2011, the tiger shirt and clothing designed by Leon and Lim [33] [34] has been worn by celebrities and fashion bloggers including Jay Z, Kevin Hart, Beyoncé, Zooey Deschanel, Swizz Beatz, Selena Gomez, Spike Jonze, Joan Smalls, Lorde, NorthernSound and Rihanna. [ citation needed] Kenzo is a Japanese fashion house founded by designer Kenzo Takada in 1970. Kenzo attended Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo—one of its first male students—and made the move from Tokyo to Paris in 1964. In 1970, he founded his first Parisian boutique, called Jungle Jap. Kenzo is credited with bringing Japanese fashion to the rest of the world, and his unique designs represent a mix of traditional Japanese lines with influences of nature and multi-culturalism. But where Weapon of Choice's entertainment stemmed from getting to see to see how much spunk was left in Walken from his dancing days, Kenzo World is just a self-contained perfume ad whose motif is undone by the commercialism it's partaking in.

The olfactory creation is signed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, whose creative approach resonates with that of Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, a bold mixing of materials and styles to explore new directions. The flowery trail of Kenzo World is a surge of intoxicating, energetic scents that unfold in floral bursts, with notes of peony, Egyptian jasmine and Ambroxan®, a magical note that gives the fragrance voluptuous sensuality.

It's interesting that we come at the end with a scent that without deviating too much from the clean and abstract original, manages to smell odd and salty-sweet without claiming neither office, nor gym proclivities. It's quite a big presence in terms of sillage and lasting, well, power.Jensen, Nanna Bachmand (June 12, 2016). "Kenzo X H&M | Fashion News". Ikon London Magazine.

The series of Kenzo World and its flanker fragrances has managed to bypass that by offering a very distinct visual presentation, literally "seeing you" in the sense of Lacan's "the mirror" concept. It's an interesting concept for all perfumes, because what is an artificial smell but an effort to transport images and feelings that we, as bipods, transpose to vision rather than more primal senses? Most fragrances heavily rely on visionary cues, from the perfume bottle design to the color schemes chosen (more on which in John Biebel's articles), right down to the advertising images that accompany their launch.

Kenzo Parfums has unveiled Kenzo World, the first feminine fragrance conceived by Kenzo creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon. The bursting energy of the two designers’ fashion vision infuses a sensual, dynamic and intoxicating scent. Making a collection of fragrances to follow one another is a hard riddle, a puzzle that comes almost immediately with the concept of a pillar fragrance. Companies trademark the names for the flankers as soon as they do for the main fragrance to be launched. This presents its own little problems.KENZO SA: Private Company Information - Businessweek".

The Kenzo Parfums division was launched in 1987, though evidence of the earliest Kenzo perfume—1978's King Kong, in keeping with the "Jungle Jap" theme—suggests the designer was interested in fragrance prior to launching a separate fragrance division. Kenzo Parfums' first official release was 1988's Kenzo for Women, a scent whose name was later changed to ça sent beau (which translates to "it smells nice"). A series of successful fragrances for men and women have since been offered, including the company's flagship scent, the ground-breaking Flower by Kenzo. Kenzo World Eau de Toilette came out in January 2018, after the original Kenzo World from 2016 and Kenzo World Intense from 2017 but I'm putting it right under the original creation for reasons of compact reading: first the eau de parfum, then the eau de toilette version. The all-seeing eye is a major imprint of the collection Kenzo World and alludes to "the force of the third eye and to spiritual protection from above," according to the Kenzo art-directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, who launched their stint at Kenzo with the concept of this very design. The advertisements hint at that very notion, emphasizing what look means, how we look at things.

We get it; this is a strong, independent, energetic, complex woman who is not where she wants to be in life, her feelings muted by the high society she's trapped in-- but in the end she finds escape from these feelings by... jumping through the corporate logo of a perfume being sold, and we learn that her complexities are what's been contained in this... perfume.In 2011, Carole Lim and Humberto Leon of Opening Ceremony were appointed co-creative directors. [13] The pair was credited with revitalizing the Kenzo brand and making it appeal to a younger customer, as well as re-defining and expanding the role of a fashion creative director to encompass all elements of creative work at a brand, not just designing the garments. [14] The rather odd combination of something very sweet and syrupy with a somewhat herbal top note is probably owed to the much more successful concept of Mugler's Aura (also a 2017 launch but no doubt worked upon for much longer), and the rather less convincing to me Decadence by Marc Jacobs which preceded both fragrances by a 2 year frame.
