DALLAS, Mar 12, 2006/ FW/ --- The science of ergonomics and Kenzo’s ethnically romantic designs might seen a contradiction in terms, but Antonio Marras married them successfully and came up with dreamy modern looks that incorporates graphical elements.

THE HANDBAGS

Three distinctive designs, all of them highly covetable from the rectangular shaped leather handbags with nautical stripes, to the inverted V-shaped cloth bags decorated with buttons to the emblematic ‘Pagodon’ bag that is round and graphic.

For the girl on the go, the nautical inspired bags features pockets for mobile phones and PDAs giving one easy access for these ubiquitous high-tech devices. Constructed in leather with a patina finish, the nautical stripes give it a sportive feel making it a go-anywhere bag.

With different kinds of buttons as the only embellishments in this cloth handbag, it becomes an automatic conversation piece and eye-turner at the same time. Every button is unique in this handbag. The two oversized rivets that are etched with the Kenzo logo double up as a decoration and a beautiful way to put your scarf when you are not using it.

Or, you can add the add scarf as another adornment to match what you are wearing, or do it just for fun.

Antonio Marras revisits the iconoclastic ‘Pagodon’ bag with this very graphical presentation of a satchel within a bag.

THE SHOES

From strappy sandals to platform and wedge shoes, the Kenzo Spring 2006 footwear collection echoes the travel theme of the womenswear collection wherein women traveling the world by sea, links culture and history between far away lands as she collects from her journeys.

The frangipani flower as an adornment, the tuxedo bow on the wedge shoes, and the braided leather as straps are reminiscent of romantic times when traveling for pleasure and leisure.

THE EYEWEAR

Bold and colorful, the sunglasses come in frames with solid color or in signature Kenzo prints with the Kenzo logo etched on the side.

FASHION JEWELRY

Eye-catching and easy to wear, the necklaces, bracelets and rings are refined with very strong graphical elements that make them fun to wear.

All of these are already available in stores. For more information, please log on: www.kenzo.com
