LVMH has announced the appointment of Felipe Oliveira Baptista as the new Creative Director at Kenzo. Felipe founded his own label in 2003 and has been recognised twice by the ANDAM prize. He previously worked as the Creative Director of Lacoste. 

Felipe said: "Kenzo is all about contagious freedom and movement. Everything M. Takada did was suffused with joy, elegance and a youthful and bold sense of humour. Kenzo's constant celebration of nature and cultural diversity has always been and remains at the heart of the brand. These two subjects have never felt more relevant and compelling than they do today and will be instrumental to the future of Kenzo."
