Known for his colourful graphic and floral prints, he was the first Japanese designer to gain prominence on the Paris fashion scene, he founded the international brand Kenzo in 1970s. He sold his brand to luxury conglomerate LVMH in 1993.

Her Kenzo campaign photos slayed. It could've been a music video and it would be a hundred times better than Perfume.

Of course that's not Joseph's fault but her team's. 

RIP Legend.

I was very sad when a read the news, such an important designer. He was a breath of fresh air with all his colours and lines. Also his perfume line is iconic. Hopefully the brand respects his legacy.
