How to put it, a person's departure is just the terminal point of a journey in life, and everyone will experience it. The most important thing is whether KENZO can achieve success in the journey of life.

As the first Japanese designer to appear in the fashion world in Paris, Takada Senzo introduced Japanese design to the world with jungle prints and free and bright color styles. His energy and eclectic style changed the way young people viewed high fashion. ?Fashion is like eating, you should not just eat from the same menu?, this is the famous saying of Kenzo Takada, the founder of Kenzo brand.

Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton Group (LVMH?Group), said in a eulogy posted on the company's social media: "Takada Senzo infused fashion with a poetic touch." The tone of light, sweetness and freedom, which inspired many designers after him, has been preserved in the Kenzo fashion house. ?

The first batch of Japanese fashion designers who became famous overseas were born in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Issey Miyake conducted a "piece of cloth" meditation and pushed folding to the extreme; Yamamoto Kansai's aesthetic thoughts stand on the opposite side of minimalism and deconstruction; Takada Senzo's inspiration comes from nature, sparrows and tigers, bamboo and cypress trees Appearing again and again, kimono skirts have also improved. Before they were seen by the world, the first stage on which they were presented was Paris.

Takada San was one of the first batch of boys to enter Tokyo Fashion College in the late 1950s. While in school, he won the design competition award set by the Japanese fashion magazine "Soen". Takada's rented apartment happened to be located in Tokyo as it was being demolished in preparation for the Summer Olympics. With ten months' rent reimbursed, he jumped on board a ship and sailed to France, where he floated at sea for a month before arriving in Paris. He wanted to start a six-month trip in Paris, but he didn't expect to stay for 56 years.

Industry insiders still remember that Takada's first fashions were light and fun, with models dancing and walking more than showing off clothes, a far cry from the hierarchical structure of French haute couture. But his spirit always lives on.
