🐯 Jungle Fever with Kenzo 🐯

Celebrating the worldwide release of Walt Disney’s classic “The Jungle Book” we’re not surprised to see that Parisian fashion house KENZO, known for their eccentric and animalistic prints, has got jungle fever with a very special collection.

KENZO Creative Directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon’s limited edition ready-to-wear pieces highlight all your favourite fairytale characters, using the animations from the original movie.

The collection features silk and cotton summer shirts, dresses, jackets and tops for women, and for the men; light jackets, trousers, shorts and Hawaiian shirts, rounded off with knitwear featuring Kaa the python. Shere Khan makes his dramatic debut replacing the brand’s original and iconic tiger on their logo too.

“What we found most appealing for this project was to marry strong Jungle Book elements with details that we know as quintessential KENZO. There’s a way that everything comes together that is slightly familiar but also really fresh and exciting. The silhouettes we chose for the garments and accessories were inspired by the new direction Disney has taken with the live-action movie. There is a slight nod to jungle / safari elements (and even beautiful printed silk shorts directly inspired by Mowgli’s costume)” Carol Lim & Humberto Leon.

Can’t wait to see the new movie, but Mowgli, Bagheera, King Louie, Hathi, Baloo and Akela the wolf will forever be remembered in these original portraits… KZO0014183 KZO0014179 KENZO JB W DRESS KENZO JB W SKIRT KZO0014190 KZO0014189
