Iconic Vintage Luxury Designers from the 90’s


Keine Mode ist so extrem mit starken, selbstbewussten und erfolgreichen Frauen verknüpft wie die der 80ger und 90ger Jahre.

Schauen wir zurück welcher Typus Frau uns in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten am meisten beeindruckt hat, so waren es nie die Modepüppchen, sondern selbstständige, einzigartige Frauen, die ihren eigenen Lebensstil haben der sich auch in ihrer Kleidung offenbart.

Es sind stolze, manchmal sogar wilde Frauen, deren Kleiderstil nicht Mainstream ist, sondern die sich gerne mit Understatement ihrer Femininität hingeben. Die zwar sexy, aber nicht wie viele der heutigen Fashionistas ordinär oder gewöhnlich angezogen sind.  Die Frauen der 80ger und 90ger Jahre waren sich ihrer Anziehung bewusst, waren stark, auffällig, Iconen und Musen ihrer Zeit, trauten sich Farbe und auffallende Schnitte zu tragen, ihre Devise:  „Yes I can“ und nicht „me too“. Frauen wie, Diana Ross, Ivana Trump, Madonna, Cher, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones,  Jeanne Moreau, Charlotte Rampling und die mittlerweile in der Schweiz lebende Diane Brill, die sich vom Partygirl und Muse zur Kosmetikunternehmerin entwickelte.

Sie trugen die Kreateure der weibliche Silhouette: Thierry Mugler, Claude Montana, Azzedine Alaia, Hervé Legèr, die Italiener Dolce & Gabbana und Gucci und die exzentrischen Rebellen J.P. Gaultier, John Galliano, die Designericonen des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts.

Ihre Mode setzt Gegensätze, sie ist unglaublich körperbetont, aber dennoch angezogen, sehr sinnlich aber elegant, exzentrisch, manchmal auch transparent aber nie ordinär. Starke Schultern, schmale Taille setzen feminine Akzente. Mode für starke, selbstbewusste, erotische Frauen die mit der Kleidung ihre Attraktivität und Figur unterstreichen, sie aber nicht der Kleidung unterwerfen.

Eine Frau die authentisch, echt, originell sein will, folgt nicht den Modetrends, sie definiert sie und für immer mehr Frauen, darunter auch Schauspielerinnen und Sängerinnen heisst dies Vintage Mode, denn ein vintage Teil hat eine Geschichte, die nicht nur die Mode zeitlos macht, sondern als kleinen Nebenbeitrag auch noch der Umwelt hilft.

Wir freuen uns über jede Frau die ihre Stärke findet und den Mut hat diese auch zu zeigen.

Kenzo Takada, a life full of colors

Kenzo Takada, who came to Europe from Japan in a slow boat, shook up fashion with his wild prints and eastern influences. Together with Issey Miyake and Hanae Mori, Takada was part of the first wave of Japanese designers to conquer the exclusive world of Parisian fashion in the 1970s.

In in 1939 in Himeji in the Japanese Kansai region, Kenzo was already obsessed with fashion design as a child and spent his spare time leafing through fashion magazines and designing clothes for his sisters‘ dolls. Creativity was almost a vulgar word in 1950´s Japan and that a man should be interested in creating fashion was absurd. Against the will of his parents, he moved to Tokyo and enrolled in the Bunka Fashion School as the first male student.

Kenzo was known for his innovative cut and excessive use of color and pattern, his designs inspired by a sense of longing, an eclectic mix of different global styles. The cultures he encountered in Asia, India and Africa, all stopovers during his journey to France, had a significant influence on his aesthetics. His first Paris boutique „Jungle Jap“ contained designs combining just that, Jungle and Japan: wild prints with traditional Japanese silhouettes, which proved to be revolutionary.

His designs were vibrant and joyful, and he was vehemently opposed to the traditional black. Typical for Kenzo were playful blouses with puff sleeves, pleated harem pants and flowing kimonos printed with floral patterns.

The designer was early to adopt the business model of ready-to-wear, and also among the first to reinterpret the fashion show as a theatrical spectacle. His shows were joyfully exuberant productions with dancers, roller skaters, performance artists and circus tents. In 1977 he staged a fashion show at Studio 54, where Grace Jones performed and Jerry Hall walked the catwalk.

The brand image and business network expanded internationally, and with time the product range broadened to include perfumes, interior design, menswear, denim and children’s clothing. Kenzo launched its highly profitable perfume division in 1988 – long before this became standard practice for fashion houses.

After LVMH bought the house in 1993, Kenzo continued to design for several years before finally retiring in 1999. The brand continues to hold a youthful spirit and sense of fun and sass, whilst preserving Kenzo’s traditions of prints and the sense of worldliness and travel that is inherent in every collection.

Kenzo who brought so much vibrant color and playful shape into uncountable lives will live on in his vintage creations.
