Kenneth Ize's colorful, energetic fashions exalt Nigerian weaving and craft skills.
Honoring its founder’s penchant for surprising collaborations, Karl Lagerfeld has cooked up a capsule collection with buzzy designer Kenneth Ize, whose colorful, energetic fashions exalt Nigerian weaving and craft skills.
Ize made a splash with his official Paris Fashion Week debut last February as Naomi Campbell closed the show, handily sparking a social-media sensation. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, and raised in Austria from age 4, the designer had previously shown at Arise Fashion Week in Lagos, and came on to the international radar as a finalist for the 2019 LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers.
“Kenneth shares Karl Lagerfeld’s vision for innovation, craftsmanship, quality and authenticity. We very much look forward to launching this capsule collection together,” said Lagerfeld chief executive officer Pier Paolo Righi.Ize employs traditional West African fabrics, especially a centuries-old weaving technique called aso oke.
“There’s an elegancy to Austria and an extravaganza to Nigeria — it’s fascinating to combine these two things together,” Ize said. “I want my brand to help my community, to build them up and serve as a platform to show them to the world.”
