Felipe Oliveira Baptista has been announced as Kenzo’s new creative director. The Portuguese designer will now take on the creativity of the LMVH Group’s brand, after being creative director at Lacoste for eight years.
“Kenzo is freedom and contagious movement”, said the Portuguese designer. “Kenzo’s constant celebration of nature and cultural diversity always was and is the heart of the brand. Two topics that are now more relevant and compelling than ever before, which will be essential in writing Kenzo’s future”.
The position was held before Felipe, since 2011, by the North American duo Carol Lim and Humberto Leon.
