Giulio welcome Kenzo for women<br />

“French luxury fashion house, Kenzo was the concept of<br />

fashion student, Kenzo Takada. The Japanese designer<br />

travelled to Paris in the early sixties to inspire the world of<br />

fashion with his take on luxury clothing.<br />

His foray into women’s fashion saw him take inspiration<br />

from his Asian heritage and the prominent European<br />

fashion houses and created his first boutique ‘Jungle Jap’ in<br />

Paris during the seventies.<br />

Kenzo grew into one of the most sought after brands in<br />

fashion going on to produce men’s fashion, perfumes, and at<br />

the turn of the century, housewares. After retiring, Takada<br />

passed the torch and the brand currently has Humberto<br />

Leon and Carol Lim as creative directors. The American duo’s<br />

leadership has seen the brand stride into its place as a luxury<br />

contemporary brand and a must have in your wardrobe.<br />

In store at King Street and online (www.giuliofashion.com)<br />

you will see inspired pieces for men and women that mirror<br />

the brand’s original concept. Featuring the brand’s famous<br />

tiger motif adorned on t-shirts and knits, as well as other<br />

cheeky prints on footwear and accessories that hold up the<br />

principles the brand has been so ever longingly adored<br />

for.” - Giulio, Cambridge.<br />

Digging The Drouser<br />

From skorts, jeggings and even<br />

shackets; fashion hybrids are<br />

nothing new. Say hello to the<br />

latest must-have - the drouser.<br />

Yes... that is a dress and pair of<br />

trousers rolled into one! From<br />

casual daywear to show-stopping<br />

evening pieces, drousers are<br />

everywhere thanks to the likes of<br />

Elie Saab and Givenchy. Create<br />

it for yourself without having to<br />

invest by layering your statement<br />

slip dress over your favourite<br />

tapered or flared trousers.<br />
