Kenzo Spring 2017

Disco is never going to die—in large part because fashion designers cannot get enough of the iconic era. Carol Lim and Humberto Lim were inspired by Studio 54 for their Spring 2017 Kenzo collection. Not an unprecedented influence we know, but the design duo’s riff on it was impressive, imaginative, and modern.

The pair worked with legendary fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez for the assortment—a man whose thrilling and carnal work is one of the markers of disco. It also harked back to reality for the brand, as Kenzo Takada showed a collection at the famed nightclub back in the late 70’s with Jerry Hall, Grace Jones, and more in attendance. Talk about iconic.

Despite the flashy motivation, there was a lot of functionality on display. High-waist trousers and classic button-front shirts lent a utilitarian air to the designs, while nylon LBDs made the best case for wearing the athletic-inspired, waterproof fabric to the office.

Outerwear ensured the Kenzo woman will transition from Winter to Spring in style. A white, calf-grazing parka was one of the most grounded pieces among the wares, with a red belted coat with contrast black lapels posing as its polar opposite.

Lopez’s photomontages of supermodels will surely be the most snapped pieces among the assemblage—and may have the most retail power if they’re priced reasonably. On oversized t-shirts, colorful high-waist pencil skirts, and drawstring-accented tops, they had the most star power: not just because they were emblazoned with some of the world’s biggest mannequins.

The easy slip and tank dresses uplifted with bold paillettes and sequin embellishment will certainly be red carpet go-tos for the brand’s legion of fans including Zendaya, Chloe Sevigny, and Vashtie.
