Welcome to the jungle – Nigo‘s new Kenzo capsule collection takes us into a world of exotic flora and fauna inspired by the house’s founder Kenzo Takada and his love of nature.

Here, elephants – Takada’s favourite animal – walk alongside tigers – Kenzo’s iconic motif, first appearing in 1975 – as graphic prints decorating garments; infused with Nigo’s contemporary sensibility, the elephant graphic is informed by 1950s sailor tattoo imagery. Offering a relaxed, everyday wardrobe, the capsule includes cotton tees, an embroidered jersey sweatshirt and a jersey cardigan – all available in black, white, red and green. Celebrating the capsule, Nigo recruited US photographer Frank Lebon to create campaign imagery formed around the notion of family togetherness and closeness, mirroring our jungle animal friends.

The Kenzo Varsity Jungle collection is available at stores and online.
