Pierre cardin is brilliantly artistic at so many things, and all the clothes he designes are just so exciting it makes me bounce around! I would wear these outfits any-day! They really grab meee! Also so many of his designs are timeless, thats a really great thing. :)

kenzo


The house of Kenzo opened in 1970, in a gallery called Gallerie Vivienne which is in Paris.

The founder and creator is Kenzo Takada, although this guy retired in 1999...These days Antonio Marras is in charge.





There is some stunning pieces by KENZO in the latest womens S/S 2011 Collection. I love how floaty but interesting structured it seems to be. I am also really loving the colours and the fresh feel it seems to have.




A/W 2010

Beauitfully magic looking, they all look like really good outfits to wear to a tea party in the woods. I really love the prints alot!



Those shoes above are such a beautiful colour. Please get them me?

moving on to men i really adore this a/w 2011 collection, it really sticks to my mind, its got quite a feminine feel and guys being in touch with there feminine side really makes me happy, i adore it.




 S/S 2011 collection has a few nice pieces, i really like the stripey sailor look


 A/W 2010 collection- it really has a mod feel to it, smart but cool, the coat, the trousers, the hat, the boots, welcome to the modern mod...
