Label Text:"I myself am exotic," declared Kenzo Takeda. Born in Japan, Kenzo established his fashion company in Paris in 1970, becoming famous for his multicultural designs, which were influenced by his frequent travels. "Folk traditions from all over the world can go hand in hand," he said. "My inspiration is in the arrangement."
