french label kenzo stopped showing at Paris Fashion Week after January 2024, opting to stage other kinds of events in the capital. It has done the same on June 24, 2026, taking over the city’s Place des Victoires for a whole day.
The circular Parisian square, in the middle of which proudly sits a monumental equestrian statue of Louis XIV, is the same where Amy shown in 2019 and 2025. Kenzo too is very familiar with it, because it was home to the first headquarters of the label founded by Kenzo Takada.
During this edition of Paris Fashion Week, Kenzo has taken over five addresses on the square. The LVMH The group label’s most eagerly awaited event, the presentation of the Spring/Summer 2027 collection, was held at number 7, for invited guests only.
On the ground floor, a selection of looks inspired by Takada favourites. Colorful ribbons were ubiquitous, alongside varsity-style crests in the Parisian label’s livery.
Yellow, navy and green were the hues at the core of the collection, which features coats, varsity jackets, sweaters and polos, as well as a stunning polo dress with yellow and navy frills.
On the upper floor, the collection instead drew from the label’s archives, with denim and houndstooth fabrics centre-stage. Plus of course Kenzo’s signature floral prints, featuring on jacket collars, sweater sleeves, and as a brooch or embroidered appliqué on a handbag that will be popular with Kenzo aficionados and beyond.
But the Kenzo presentation didn’t stop there. A pop-up store will be open to the public until June 28 at number 2 on the square, where items from the label’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection are available for advance purchase. Some of the items will be delivered from mid-July.
Besides these two addresses, Kenzo has opened a typical Japanese convenience store, a konbini, on the square, selling a range of exclusive products like t-shirts, magazines and assorted snacks and beverages.
Next door, at 10 Place des Victoires, the Kenzo Café is the place for a refreshing stop, with its uber-popular Matcha Lattes and dishes created in collaboration by We Are Ona and chef Sugio Yamaguchi.
Before diving again into the suffocating Paris heat, visitors can also stop at number 8, home to the Kenzo Flowers florist, where Debeaulieu, a Parisian specialist in high-end floral compositions, is selling seasonal bouquets inspired by the world of Kenzo.
