World-renowned Japanese-French fashion designer Kenzo Takada, founder of the Kenzo fashion company, died of a coronavirus infection at the age of 81 in Paris on Sunday, a spokesperson said.
She was the first Japanese fashion designer to achieve significant success in the French fashion industry, writes France24. The fashion designer who founded the high-end brand Kenzo became famous in the 1980s for his varied and sophisticated ready-to-wear pieces that renew Western attire with oriental features.
Although she was born in Japan, in Himeji near Osaka, almost her entire fashion design career is tied to Paris.
His first name, Kenzo, became a world famous fashion brand. Kenzo Takada (Japanese: Takado Kenzo) graduated from the famous Bunka Gakuen fashion school in his homeland and began his career as a stylist in a Tokyo chain of stores.
At the age of twenty-five he came to France by boat in 1964. He just wanted to stay in Paris for a short time, then he finally moved there.
He presented his first women’s collection in 1970, and in 1983 he also created his first men’s collection. And in 1988, she launched her own perfume called Kenzo Kenzo.
He founded the fashion house that bears his first name in 1976.
Takada sold the brand to Bernard Arnault’s multi-million dollar luxury group, LVMH, in 1993, and retired permanently from the business in 1999, dedicating himself to painting, among other things. Ten years later, he auctioned his 1,300-piece art collection for two million euros.
