Kenzo X Jungle Book

Sometimes, the simple bare necessities of life include a Kenzo sweatshirt. Especially one designed in collaboration with Disney, ahead of the April 15 release of “The Jungle Book,” a remake of the 1967 animated classic. Using original drawings from the Disney archives and their own wilderness-inspired prints, Kenzo designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim created a capsule collection that includes dresses, skirts, tops and jackets for men and women. “Kenzo Takada started a line called Jungle in the 70’s, so for the history of the brand, the word ‘jungle’ has been synonymous with Kenzo,” said the designers. One particularly genius touch? Replacing their signature tiger motif with the face of Shere Khan. Before the line drops on April 7th, here’s an original preview.
