Celosvetovo známy japonský návrhár, Kenzó Takada, včera podľahol následkám vírusu covid-19. Dizajnér a zakladateľ luxusnej značky Kenzo skonal vo francúzskej nemocnici. Informoval o tom jeho tlačový hovorca a správu pre fanúšikov potvrdili aj na oficiálnych sociálnych sieťach značky.

81-ročný Kenzó svoju značku vybudoval už v roku 1970 a odvtedy patrí k stálici módneho priemyslu. O módu sa zaujímal už od detstva a venoval sa jej až do poslednej chvíle. Bol prvým japonským dizajnérom, ktorý sa usídlil v Paríži, ktorá bola už v tom čase mekkou módy. Zaujať dokázal modelmi inšpirovanými Japonskom, ale aj extravaganciou.
