I´ve always loved Kenzo, I´ve read a lot about him and I can say this is one of the best documentaries I´ve ever seen. You've done an excellent job with it. Thank you for sharing.
@@Fashionindustrybroadcast ....i wish i had some idea....that i would be so triggered and nostalgic...i would have watched this when i was more prepared....well....HE....made PARIS...and the world of HAUTE COUTURE....more DEMOCRATIC and MODERN...and certainly more COLORFUL...i know YSL...was a bit envious of him...LOU LOU....would wear KENZO'S clothes while working with YSL..and he would rip them off her and examine them...and would smile and sneer...I CAN DO THIS TOO...and he would slyly incorporate them in his RIVE GAUCHE work...of course KENZO'S perfumes and colognes are staples in the black community..and he gave a lot of exposure to black models and he made them look vibrant and dynamic....IMAN...which i saw in this video...PAT CLEVELAND who i saw in this video...KATOUCHA...YSL'S house model..who i did not know worked with KENZO...and GRACE JONES...in this video i was very moved to see PATRICIA VELASQUEZ...she is the STUNNING woman who played ANOCK SUNAMUN...in the MUMMY movie franchise starring BRENDAN FRAZER...i knew she modeled for a good while in the GAY 90s...and i loved that she was openly lesbian and in a relationship with actress SANDRA BERNHARD...she got the MUMMY role at the absolute last minute and her and the man who played the priest IMMOTEP...were so beautiful together...and there was such subtext to their work in the movie...i have some scarves by KENZO...and i love looking at them ...they are beautiful...HE really did have such ENERGY and SPIRIT to everything he did...and he is a big part of my teen years discovering the world of haute couture and the elevation of disco and dance culture and the world of haute couture is a bit staid...and rigid...now that he is gone...RIP KENZO...
Kenzo Takada is always smile each time and I guess he got bright character. I'm glad to see Sayoko Yamaguchi is mentioned as his muse. There were lots exciting people with Kenzo on the pictures around this era, God of fashion Karl Lagerfeld, beautiful actress Isabelle Adjani, another talented designer Issay Miyake.... I wish I could witness the exciting creative time.
PLEASE FIX YOUR AUDIO MIXES. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The effort spent on these videos is negated by the horrible audio mixes. Stop destroying your hard work.
When doing such cultural diverse collections, was there anyone feeling misrepresented? how did he not get labeled for cultural appropriation? Just curious.
It wouldn’t have crossed anyone’s mind in the 80’s or 90’s that there was anything wrong with a designer being inspired to create through celebrating other cultures, it simply was not a thing.
There is a good word for you to learn maybe, it's called "syncretism". Syncretism doesn't attempt to redefine cultures or influences, nor pretend that it has created something new; it doesn't misrepresent or muddy the perception of the parent culture that it is drawn from. It also doesn't coopt designs/ art/ culture (etc.) for financial benefit in a way that undermines the parent cultures ability to monetize it themselves. Cultural appropriation is indeed an important concern, it's great that people talk about it. However, I feel like people quickly become lost in that conversation, without awareness of concepts like syncretism. It would be good to hear "syncretism" in peoples vocabulary too, as it helps to define what the truely problematic elements of cultural appropriation are, and how to avoid them. the reason why Kenzo, was never labeled as cultural appropriation, is because it's not. It's syncretism. The meeting of two distinct cultures in an equal and transparent exchange of ideas. for further clarification on deliniating the difference between these ideas, it is good remember the true definition of the word "appropriation". Coming to understand the meaning of this word outside the context of culture and art, will glean a deeper insight into what is and isn't appropriation in practice.

Give me a break. All fashion is influenced by all cultures - same with all other fields of art, high or low.
