Kenzo Takada, the designer who created the eponymous fashion house, died from complications from COVID-19. He was 81. Takada was also a trailblazer in the world of fragrance; his Kenzo brand is owned by LVMH.
“Kenzo Takada has, from the 1970s, infused into fashion a tone of poetic lightness and sweet freedom which inspired many designers after him. In this fresh and spontaneous spirit, he also durably renewed the world of perfume. The House he had established, Kenzo, still explores his vision. I’m very sad to learn about his passing and express my sincerest sympathy to his family and friends," said Bernard Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer, LVMH.
