Bold yet beautiful, Kenzo’s iconic prints have been rebirthed to great effect in the hands of artists, young creatives and activists for the Kenzo x H&M collection.
The colourful lineup bears a carnival meets safari vibe, with the brand’s signature tiger stripes channeled by a youthful sensibility.
Here’s a first look at the collection which will hit stores worldwide and online from 3 November.
