Kenzo’s creative director, Felipe Oliveira Baptista, also took to Instagram to pay his respects, “His amazing energy, kindness, talent and smile were contagious. His kindred spirit will live forever.”
Takada was born in Japan and moved to Paris in 1964 to step into the fashion world. In 1970, he launched his first collection, which became an instant because of its vibrant colours and fiery prints.
The designer rose to fame when a model of his was featured on Elle magazine’s cover. Following this, his stored was featured in US Vogue. Kenzo showed collections in New York and Tokyo in 1971.
In 1993, luxury conglomerate LVMH purchased Kenzo’s brand. He retired in 1999.
