Harper's BAZAARさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Harper's BAZAARInstagram)「Kenzō Takada, the Japanese designer responsible for creating iconic brand @kenzo, has passed away at the age of 81 following complications caused by COVID-19. Takado was one of the first Japanese designers to emerge on the scene in Paris in the Seventies, and is best known for his love of bold colors and mismatched prints. Despite leaving the brand in 1999, Takada continued to collaborate with Kenzo through the years. He recently launched a luxury homeware and lifestyle brand called K三 (pronounced K3), of which he was the artistic director, in collaboration with Jonathan Bouchet Manheim, Engelbert Honorat, and Wanda Jelmini. “For half a century, Mr. Takada has been an emblematic personality in the fashion industry—always infusing creativity and color into the world. Today, his optimism, zest for life and generosity continue to be pillars of our Maison. He will be greatly missed and always remembered,” said Sylvie Colin, CEO of the Maison, in a statement.
