Hello audience friends, welcome to watch the latest drama report brought to you by IBo.
The "Unforgettable North America" series starring Ye and Kim Kardashian has now been renewed due to high ratings, and the third season of "Ye's Rebirth Sweeps Paris Fashion Week" is now available.
At the paris men's fashion week that just ended, Ye was carrying his new girlfriend Julia Fox everywhere he went, and the two of them not only often wore couple outfits to appear on major shows.
And he always made love in public, and the more the flash was dense, the more entangled they were, and the dog food was sprinkled, and the dogs in Paris were fed fat.
This is Julia Fox's first serious campaign at Paris Fashion Week, and her looks are unsurprisingly all contracted by her highly controlling boyfriend. There is reason to believe that Ye does not want to fall in love, mainly wants to play the live-action version of miracle warming.
But Julia Fox herself didn't mind the big makeover, and instead enjoyed it. She herself is the most loyal CP fan, and gave her and Ye a CP name: Juliye. Sister's sense of humor, I am convinced.
Juliye's group, when attending Kenzo's Fall/Winter 2022 show, also undoubtedly received VIP treatment in the front row, and they sat next to them all the big names: Pharrell Williams, Tyler, the Creator, Pusha T, and... Designer himself Nigo.
By the way, the cloud breeze gently showed off, Julia Fox wrapped tightly in this blanket, Yubo already had!
But to be honest, after watching so many shows, this is the first time I have seen the designer himself sitting leisurely under the field to watch. Usually the designers on the runway are busy backstage making final adjustments for the models, and only after the show is over will they hurry out and bow, like Nigo, who is so determined, and has never seen it.
The only explanation is that Nigo has been preparing for the show for too long and too long, and he is very confident in his answers.
Finding a designer is harder than reincarnating a living Buddha
The 1980s were a magical time, with Paris Fashion Week welcoming challengers from the far East. Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto provoked everyone's nerves with bold and almost radical designs, and Issey Miyake amazed four with unprecedented folding techniques.
Kenzo Takada, as a pioneer of Japanese designers, has a much greater status. Since the 1970s, he has made his name with light, cheerful, and things-through design.
At that time, Nigo was just an ordinary junior high school student in Gunma Prefecture, and could only get fashion-related information when flipping through magazines.
Although there is no money to actually own a Kenzo piece, just looking at the clothes that jump in color in the store constitutes the young man's initial imagination of fashion.
If someone told Nigo at the time that you would become Kenzo's creative director decades from now, he probably would have dismissed it as nonsense, but sometimes the unfolding of reality is often more unexpected than imagined.
I have always felt that the process of finding a new fashion director in a fashion house with a history is very much like the "reincarnation of the living Buddha", and the new designer must be able to understand the ideas and techniques of the original designer, and if he can have a similar background, it is the best.
Kenzo Spring 1989
From this point of view, Nigo is undoubtedly the most suitable person to take over Kenzo. Like Kenzo Takada, he grew up in Japan, even graduated from the Nippon Institute of Culture and Fashion, and most importantly: they are very good at extracting elements from Eastern and Western cultures and recombining them.
Kenzo Fall 2022
The most exciting thing in the whole show is this kimono-style coat, and one of the 8 images in the joint series of LV and Nigo a while ago. (Anecdotally, LVMH invited him to be Kenzo's designer because of the acclaim and popularity of Nigo and LV's joint series.) ）
Inspired by the clothes worn by Japanese pottery craftsmen at work, the style of the diagonal lace-up has a special ancient charm and is very bookish.
Kimono elements also often appear in Kenzo Takada's designs, and he likes this loose and comfortable fit the most. These wide-sleeved, flowing styles do not emphasize the curves of the body at all, but they make the people who wear these clothes feel extremely comfortable.
In Paris in the 1970s, he conquered the covers of major fashion magazines with such an oriental aesthetic.
Another distinctly Japanese feature throughout the collection is the recurring tannin fabric. Anyone familiar with Nigo will know that he is an avid tannin lover.
Nigo's collection of vintage jeans can't be described as valuable, so he's also particularly persistent when designing tannin pieces.
Although Kenzo has excellent factories in Europe, Nigo insists that all tannins in the series be manufactured in Japan. Because only the Japanese washing process can make the rough feeling he wants.
The Year of the Tiger does not do tiger head, what do you think?
Speaking of Kenzo, what was your first reaction? Nine out of ten people would think of a tiger's head, right?
The designer duo Carol Lim and Humberto Leon's greatest achievement as creative directors at Kenzo was to make this tiger head a logo that is not more than a logo, which can be recognized from afar.
The Tiger Head Element is both the hero of Kenzo's previous business miracle and what the new Kenzo needs to get rid of today. Because of overexposure, this originally avant-garde image has begun to become a bit outdated.
This is why when major brands want to rub some of the heat of the Year of the Tiger, Nigo is very restrained and does not use a lot of tiger elements. He cleverly chose another one that represented Kenzo, the flower.
The patterns of Yu Meiren and Begonia flowers are sometimes tiled with a single button to become large area prints, and sometimes they are deliberately painted in a humble and childish style, reminiscent of the style of Human Made, another of Nigo's brands.
The law of "less is more" does not exist in Nigo.
The variety of bright colors and full of flowers make the whole series full of youthful vitality, after all, Kenzo Takada himself is also famous for this bright and complex use of colors.
When Yubo and Wang Hedi and Mia Kong watched the show together in the live broadcast room, the three of us were wearing pieces printed with begonia flowers, which was really energetic, and I felt that I could wear it and blend into the university campus without pressure
Sidney Toledano, CEO of LVMH's fashion department, once lamented Nigo's knowledge of Kenzo Takada, not only did he know the life of this predecessor, but he even collected some of The very rare works of Kenzo Takada.
Nigo also found some design manuscripts of Kenzo Takada from the brand's historical archives this time, which directly turned into a print covering the entire dress, which is the ultimate fan behavior, right?
啥叫real-to-wear？
This time Nigo also came up with a new term: real-to-wear, meaning that in his vision, Kenzo built a very solid wardrobe.
All the shapes we see on the runway can be seamlessly copied to real life. Looking at the models on the runway, you can imagine what these clothes look like on their bodies.
Looking closely at the show, Nigo seems to have actually done just that. Neither the menswear he's very good at nor the women's clothing he's trying to design for the first time doesn't have any sensational design. Accustomed to seeing all kinds of demonic catwalks, such a real show can be called fresh.
After the news of Nigo's appointment was announced, in fact, many people worried that his talent from streetwear was limited to designing prints. But Nigo responded to all the doubts with this fairly solid series.
The sturdy suit with a restrained and low-key Prince of Wales check is used, and just looking at the pictures on the runway can feel the outstanding texture, both men and women wear it immediately with a retro British style, feeling that they can quote a few shakespeares casually.
The Ivy style is one of Nigo's best styles, and several baseball jackets in the collection are so eye-catching that you can imagine Pharell Williams wearing them.
The Yokosuka jacket is a piece with a special meaning of the era. In order to commemorate this experience, American soldiers stationed in Yokosuka, Japan after World War II, asked locals to embroider traditional Japanese patterns on their military uniform jackets, which created this piece that blended Eastern and Western cultures.
Nigo's Yokosuka jacket is versatile with both a tough military silhouette and delicate embroidery.
The bigger the hat, the more fashionable it is
This time the accessories are also a big highlight, and Yubo especially likes the oversized berets worn by the models. This classic French piece is scaled up and instantly becomes new. Emily in Paris, hurry up and learn!
Pharell Williams had already worn a beret from the series in advance when he watched the show, and the hat still had the words 1970 written on it.
The year was a year of great significance for the show as a whole, as it was both the year that Kenzo Takada opened Kenzo's first shop on Vivian Arcade and the year Nigo was born. This time, Nigo also deliberately chose the show in Vivian Arcade Street, and the degree of care is simply touching.
But the cute and warm curly-edged sweater pot hat is also captured at a glance to capture the hearts of a large number of our colleagues, this kind of soft and cute single product, who can stop it?
There are also some japanese embroidered pouches that can be straddled diagonally to add a little exoticism.
Kenzo's tiger has also changed from an abstract tiger head to a more elephant tiger, which is very playful and cute whether it is embellished on a tote bag or adorned on gloves.
In an interview with The New York Times, Nigo admitted that he had also experienced a "midlife crisis." The once-famous designer also felt lost, and he even doubted whether his own era had passed.
And joining Kenzo is exactly the exciting challenge he needs most for Nigo. This debut is proof that the era of Nigo continues.
