The Change Reflects the Brand’s Renewed Concentration on Womenswear
Kenzo has announced a deviation from its usual coed runway shows for the Fall 2025 season. Instead, the brand will host separate showcases for their men’s and women’s collections. The men’s collection will take center stage on January 24 during the men’s fashion week in Paris. The women’s showcase will follow at the Paris Fashion Week, which runs from March 3 to 11.
Making the announcement, Kenzo alluded to a renewed concentration on women’s fashion. The brand noted, “This decision follows three years of creative growth under the artistic director Nigo, who has laid a solid foundation for Kenzo’s menswear.” They further stated that Nigo’s leadership has resulted in a men’s wardrobe that has a “strong and cohesive identity.” Now, Kenzo is excited to take their women’s line in a “bold new direction, showcasing designs that build on the house’s legacy while embracing a dynamic and modern perspective.”
The brand has recently welcomed a new creative team for women’s fashion, led by the newly appointed design director, Joshua A. Bullen, who previously held the same position at Givenchy. They will collaborate closely with Nigo, the creative director. The brand expects their “vision and expertise will contribute to the continued creative growth of the brand.”
Kenzo confirmed plans to return to a unified showcase for its Spring 2026 runway show scheduled for June.
