"With every campaign film we always try to take KENZO to a new place. This is the second time we've worked with Kahlil on a short film and with "Music is My Mistress" he evoked another viewpoint on our collections that felt right to us. Visually the movie is incredible and leads us to confirm we were right in trusting our instincts when we asked him to work with us on the project. Having Tracee, Jessie, Lu and Ish also collaborate was amazing. The atmosphere on set was so unique and we think that's visible in the film. Everyone brought their diverse talents together to create something beautiful."
A space that can transform with me. It’s important to me that all the materials in my studio can be moved easily and that the space is adaptable. My space is mostly free of any work — current or previous. A blank canvas. At some point, a large open-plane hanger style / industrial building will be great. Reverting to warehouse living with my creative family at some point will be interesting in this new chapter of my life. For now, I’m enjoying the juxtaposition of Parisian architecture with my industrial / DIY approach to furniture and also work style.
