Kenzo Takada (February 7, 1939 – October 4, 2020) studied art and fashion in his native Japan. In 1970, Kenzo opened Jungle Jap, a boutique in which he sold his designs. The store was a big success, and Kenzo went on to open a larger boutique in 1972. In the mid-1980s, Kenzo expanded his business, adding a men’s line, jeans, and a junior line. Kenzo sold his label to LVMH in 1999, and he presented his last line under his own name. Kenzo was known for his mix of cultural influences and for his use of prints and colors. He traveled the world and was greatly influenced by what he encountered.
