Kenzo: Carol Lim and Humberto Leon have been fixated on the work of David Lynch. So much so that the director created a large sculpture of a head howling above the photographer’s pit and took control of the soundtrack for this season’s show. The result? A positively fixating mishmash of trippy prints, weirdly wonderful styling combos like a lime green tulip cocktail skirt worn over a lime green, brown, and black jacquard print pantsuit with a red printed jacquard button-down or a zigzag printed red jumpsuit worn over a black turtleneck with golden tools printed on the collar. That’s right: the kind of tools one can procure at Home Depot. Tools happen to be a Lynchian archetype, which runs through all of his surrealistic works. Those came on nearly every print in the collection, and even snaked along in a cluster on a B&W zigzag print clutch with fur trim. Like Lynch’s films, it was a collection so cool and with just the right dose of weird that it worked wickedly well.
