Kenzo parts ways with creative directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim


Kenzo parts ways with creative directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim

Humberto Leon and Carol Kim are stepping down from Kenzo, where they
shared the position of creative director for the past eight years, to focus
on their US-based label Opening Ceremony, WWD reports. The duo will present
their final collection for the LVMH-owned fashion house on June 23 during
Paris Men’s Fashion Week. Their official departure will happen on July 1,
with the successor to be announced at a later date.

Leon and Kim are credited with modernizing Kenzo, a label founded in the
1970s by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada, thanks to collaborations with the
likes of H&M and Vans. During their tenure, the company has maintained
consistent double-digit growth, with annual revenues estimated in 300
million to 400 million euro (approximately 388-451 million US dollars or
266-355 million pounds) by unnamed industry sources quoted by the WWD.
