Japanese-French creativity — Flower by Kenzo changed the game

Japanese designer Kenzo Takada moved to Paris in 1965 and founded his fashion house in 1970, blending Eastern and Western aesthetics. L'Eau par Kenzo (1996) was an early aquatic pioneer. Flower by Kenzo (2000) — a powdery poppy soliflore — became the brand's signature fragrance and a bestseller. Kenzo Takada passed away in 2020; the house continues under new creative direction. Owned by LVMH since 1993.
