Guest Post: Re-imagining Kenzo

by MISS MOSS (If you aren’t already familiar with Diana’s blog, Miss Moss, you are truly missing out. It’s absolutely one of our favorite reads and we were beyond delighted when she agreed to contribute to a series of guest posts on HonestlyWTF. You’re in for a treat!)

One of my favourite shows from the recent Spring 2012 collections was the “new” Kenzo - which was recently taken over by creative directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, the geniuses behind Opening Ceremony. Which, of course, explains why there’s a certain wacky & fun edge to the all the pieces. I couldn’t help but feel that the setting for these knock-out outfits was slightly bland, so I decided to re-imagine some of my favourite looks in decidedly different scenery…

    I’m blown away!!! What a great idea to change the scenery. Maybe we should do that with our own photos, so that we are always in the most fabulous places.
