“As spirited and playful as a den of bunny rabbits in love”, was how the show notes described Kenzo’s first standalone womenswear show in eight years. Inspired by a 1979 sketch by house founder Kenzo Takada, bunnies were everywhere. They appeared as illustrations on New Era caps, as furry bunny slippers, as a garment made from lots of pink and blue bunnies stitched together like some kind of Disney body horror, as hooded floppy-eared hoodies, and slung around the final model’s neck. (You’ve seen Hundreds of Beavers? Maybe we have a sequel here.) Chas & Dave’s cult hit Rabbit played on the soundtrack – Kenzo had more rabbit than Sainsbury’s, for sure.

This surreal playfulness was balanced out by reinterpreted Kenzo signatures and sensibilities: Japanese selvedge denim, tuxedo-kimono shapes, cropped bomber jackets, tailored outerwear in heritage English fabrications, floral bags and ballooning harem pants. Trousers decorated with colourful stars were pyjama fits acceptable outside the house, crystal pavé belt buckles etched Nigo and Kenzo’s names in katana script, and pieces decorated with handwritten autographs of the atelier team imitated those leavers school shirts your classmates doodle messages on. Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd, Patti Smith and Blondie formed a rebellious playlist – perhaps these bunnies weren’t as cute and fluffy as first thought – as guests left carrying envelopes filled with t-shirts and crayons, encouraging us to create a custom Kenzo creation of our own.
