Brand story: Kenzo Takada left Tokyo for Paris in 1964 and opened his first boutique, Jungle Jap, in Galerie Vivienne in 1970. His flat-cut shapes, florals and bold colour helped free French fashion from couture conservatism. In the mid-1980s he added Kenzo Jungle, the house's younger line, recognisable by its red label with green jungle lettering. This is a pair of crisp white linen trousers from the late 90s, high-waisted with a side button-and-zip fastening, slim straight legs and a full lining.
Year: 1995-1999. Size: 38. Fabric: 100% linen; lining 58% acetate, 42% viscose.
