Nigo Takes Kenzo Women’s Line to New Heights
Under the creative direction of Nigo, Kenzo has seen significant growth in its menswear line over the past three years. Now, the brand is ready to expand its women’s line with a dedicated Fall/Winter 2025 show during Paris’s Women’s Fashion Week in March.
Embracing a Bold and Modern Perspective
In a statement provided to WWD, Kenzo expressed their excitement for the future of the brand’s women’s line. “With the men’s wardrobe firmly established and evolving with a strong and cohesive identity, the house is now looking forward to taking Kenzo women in a bold new direction,” they said. The brand plans to showcase designs that honor the house’s legacy while embracing a dynamic and modern perspective.
New Creative Team to Focus on Women’s Development
To ensure the success of the dedicated women’s show, Kenzo has reportedly built a new creative team to work alongside Nigo. This team will focus on developing the women’s line and bringing fresh ideas to the table. The brand is determined to make a statement with its upcoming presentation.
Coed Lineup to Return for Spring 2026
While the brand is breaking away from its coed presentation style for now, they plan to return to it for Spring 2026 later this summer. This decision shows the brand’s commitment to both its men’s and women’s lines and its desire to continue pushing boundaries in the fashion world.
