The Kenzo x New Era Fall/Winter 2012 collaboration collection reaches new fashion heights. Under the creative direction of Opening Ceremony founders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, couture label Kenzo is gaining major street credibility with its decision to team up with sportswear giant New Era.
Known for its hip-hop-inspired headgear, New Era's street aesthetic is infused with Kenzo's high fashion detailing and signature eclectic prints. The Kenzo x New Era Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook showcases the two labels' 1920s-inspired baseball caps, Japanese blossom patterns and vibrant hues.
Photographer Maciek Pozoga captures models who exude street swagger as they pose with the odd choice of props including antique bust statues and classic oil paintings. This off-kilter advertorial further embraces the electric collaboration between the two fashion opposites.
