KENZO Releases Its Latest Mesmerizing Fashion Film For SS18

As the brand has proven time and again since creative directors creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon took the helm, KENZO are a pretty wily bunch when it comes to fashion films. Remember that show-stopping Fall/Winter 2017 short, written and directed by OITNB's Natasha Lyonne and starring Maya Rudolph? Now the label's latest more-than-just-a-fashion-campaign, directed by Ana Lily Amirpour, has premiered and it certainly doesn't disappoint.

The mesmerizing nine-minute short balances music, fashion and film, centering around the theme of “muses” by celebrating and re-imagining the concept. KENZO's Spring/Summer 2018 collection takes center stage, as well as Karen O's KENZO-original song “YO! MY SAINT,” which has just released globally. The cast is of full Asian descent, including Kiko Mizuhara, Jessica Henwick and Alex Zhang Hungtai.

“Humberto and I are technically the producers. The beautiful part about this is it’s two women that decided to make this film together. It’s an amazing artistic endeavor and a conversation between two women. A female musician and a female director. That’s kind of the starting point of this. We’re so excited for it to finally come out,” said Carol Lim.
