For theKenzo Spring/Summer 2019 campaign, Creative Directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim teamed up with photographer and filmmaker David LaChapelle. Shot at the photographer's Los Angeles studio, the campaign depicts an optimistic utopia to bring the collection to life, conjuring aKenzotopia, where streetscapes, urban apartments and outdoor scenes blur together in a euphoric Technicolor reverie.

Right from his debuts in the 1980s, David LaChapelle gained international interest for his unique approach to image making. Over the past thirty years his body of work has established the artist as a fixture in contemporary art. His portrait, stage, music video and film works have become iconic archetypes of America in the 21st Century. To create the backdrop for the Kenzo Spring/Summer 2019 collection he did not simply stage his subjects but brought them to life in a fantasia of his own making. This contemporary take on utopia is inspired by the tropical landscapes of Maui, Hawaii, where he has lived for the past 11 years.
