Kenzo have made it entirely acceptable to wear Disney merchandise even as an adult with a new collaboration with The Jungle Book.
You may or may not be aware that The Jungle Book is about to hit cinemas as a live action version, starring Idris Elba and Lupita Nyong'o, and to celebrate Kenzo have designed a collection inspired by the Disney archive. The cult brand has always had a penchant for the animal kingdom (its tiger motif is fashion famous after all), so it's a great pairing.
The result is dresses and shirts covered in vibrant jungle prints, including a pair of shorts inspired by Mowgli's costume. The range, which is available in stores today, also includes jersey T-shirts and jumpers adorned with a Shere Khan illustration. We want them all.
"What we found most appealing for this project was to marry strong Jungle Book elements with details that we know as quintessential Kenzo." said the label's creative directors, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon.
"There's a way that everything comes together that is slightly familiar but also really fresh and exciting. The silhouettes we chose for the garments and accessories were inspired by the new direction Disney has taken with the live-action movie."
Prices start at £85 stretching to £440.
