Aquatic for fashion activism. Kenzo Spring 2014 was nothing but a wave of oceanic statement pieces with a tint of urbanization. As creative directors who just newly tapped the Kenzo world in 2011, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, have injected their expertise of retail management to bring the show as spectacular as it was held in Cité du Cinéma de Luc Besson, in Saint-Denis. With a dramatic set featuring burbling bowls of water down the runway, a waterfall entrée for the models and the racing beat of L.A.’s underground techno beats, it was clear the Kenzo pair was making a statement of aquatic revival. As Californians, the pair captured the oceans’ waves and the aquatic notion with their separate “it” pieces for this time around. And as a more conservative angle, a movement for a fashion activism for the Blue Marine Foundation (“no fish, no future”), to combat overfishing, was shown through designed slogan tees launching in January.

The pair’s urbanized, oceanic inspiration can be seen through the softly melting fish and wave prints on their pieces. And to make a statement, the colors shift from an oceanic blue to a fierce combination of red shades, as a tough act to foreshadow the stop of overfishing. Crop tops and skirts with leaks of embroidery as waves, blue pants suit with black bandeaus worn over the jacket and backless mini dresses for airy vents express the collection’s dramatic love for the ocean. As for Kenzo Spring 2014’s future slogan, “No fish, No nothing”, was well expressed through their sweatshirts in more urbanized wave prints. Having not enough obsessions over oceanic waves, running shoes even made the spotlight.

If the response for audience was not a clue, these fishies should be getting ready to be reeled in. Lim and Leon successfully reshaped Kenzo with a formula of youthful designs with prints and colorful palettes and as a top notch, bringing a tough activist voice for their love for the ocean. Spring for Kenzo will be an act of “saving these fishies” with Blue Marine Foundation, and it will with questions, be over flowingly stylish. (Text Nadilla Sari Ratman)
