“Kenzo Takada knew, from 1970, to give to fashion a tone of light poetry and an allure of soft freedom which inspired many designers after him. In this same spirit of freshness and spontaneity, it has also permanently renewed the world of perfume. The house he founded, KENZO, continues to be part of this vision. His passing saddens me deeply. I send my most sincere condolences to those close to him. "
-Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH
“For more than half a century, Kenzo has been a key figure in Fashion, a symbol of creativity, color and freedom. Even today, her openness, her joie de vivre and her generosity remain strong values of our House. They will be sorely missed by all who knew and appreciated him. " said Sylvie Colin, CEO of the Maison.
“It is with great sadness that I learned of the death of Mr. Kenzo Takada. Her incredible energy, kindness, talent and smile were contagious. "
