Kenzo ' s
Hot Ti cke t
AP/ AFP - Portuguese-born Oliveira Baptista — who had
previously revived Lacoste — put out a solid and sale-
able collection of men's and women's designs that suc-
cessfully pushed Kenzo toward a focussed and minimal-
ist mood.
There were flashes of creative flourish: Such as a
giant double-breasted tailored coat in vibrant medium
blue that hung in a column surreally to the model's
ankles. It touched the billowing hem of oversize pants.
Elsewhere, headwear cleverly morphed a 1950's-style
cloche hat with a Asian warrior headpiece — and pro-
voked the clicking of guests' cameras.
