Kenzo Takada

Amazing book, anyone studying fashion or Art this is a must. Inspirational!

Kenzo is one of my all-time admired fashion designers. This is one of the best books on him n his work. Nuff said.

Got this the day Kenzo died (10.04.2020). It had been in my cart for months, and I felt it was a bit too expensive, considering I was never his BIGGEST fan – although I do find his creations marvelous. But it occurred to me that maybe, because of his death, I should get it before other people had the same idea. And so I did. The book is beautiful but PLEASE, DO NOT – I repeat, DO NOT – GET IT ANYWHERE NEAR WATER. I know it sounds silly, since books and water never go together, but usually books on Art and Fashion are have glossy pages and glossy dust jackets. This one’s dust jacket is pure paper, and I have a feeling that a single drop would ruin it. Apart from that, it’s a beautiful book, the only problem with it (with mine, actually), is that a few pages (4 to be exact, so not that many at all) came unattached. They’re there, perfectly fine, but they’re just not sticked to the book. Amazon has absolutely nothing to do with it (since it came in perfect conditions) so I assume it was a problem during printing. I’m saying this because maybe this could have happened with other copies as well.

I was super excited and waited months for this book. why the layout crop most of the drawings? the layout is weird.
