In 1970, Kenzo Takada instilled a touch of jungle exoticism at the heart of Paris, in Galerie Vivienne. With his colorful prints and his self-professed creative freedom, Kenzo upturned the couture diktats of the time by merrily breaking the rules. In keeping with this cheerful and colorful heritage, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon took over the artistic direction of the House of Kenzo in 2011. The brand’s first feminine fragrance, called Kenzo, was born in 1988.
