Kenzo

-There are few books that can be described as exquisite, let alone informative, and yet this celebration is all of that and more... unlike anything this reviewer has ever seen in any bookstore. The cloth-covered volume includes multi-page foldouts, several of which fold out to be poster sized. There is also one unbelievable pop-up rivaling even the most extravagant of art publication, 3-D art, on part with the most complicated of pop-ups of Ron Van Der Meer, Robert Sabuda, and David A. Carter. All of this is printed with crystal clear clarity on wonderfully thick stock that compares with the best in fine art books. These elements alone make this book a must have for anyone who can appreciate the art of fashion in all its unrestrained glory.- New York Journal of Books -... an extraordinary collectible- Metro Source -In the book, KENZO (Rizzoli), the brand's signature East-meets-West style is presented in a fresh new way. The coffee-table tome celebrates the house's 40th anniversary with more than 300 pages of illustrations, personal accounts from designers and journalists, and pop-up pages commemorating its past, present and future. Keeping in line with KENZO's love of rich textiles, the book is covered and bound in a soft cloth: There are three different cover options in bold floral prints, each a work of art in itself.- Nylon -For the fashionista who has everything, a tome about KENZO penned by the label's artistic Director Antonio Marras and by Olivier Saillard might just be the perfect gift...- Fashion Windows "There are few books that can be described as exquisite, let alone informative, and yet this celebration is all of that and more... unlike anything this reviewer has ever seen in any bookstore.
