Folklore

I have always been fascinated with the idea of mixing traditional elements of folklore costumes into modern clothes. They're are so pleasant to wear or just look at, having a history of hundreds of years sometimes. Here, KENZO use parts of Slavic costume - the head scarves, long skirts and belted silhouettes, field flower patterns (love!) and traditionally braided and/or side-parted hair. Brilliant, if you ask me ;)
