Size M, condition grade A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. The sukajan, the embroidered souvenir jacket that grew out of postwar Yokosuka, is one of the clearest meeting points of those two worlds, and this piece is from the period when Nigo took on the role of creative director at the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the black side, a grey elephant with pale tusks looks out from a thicket of green bamboo, framed by the name Kenzo in red script above and Paris below. The front is quieter: Kenzo and Paris in white script on either side of the zip, with white stripes at the collar, cuffs and hem. Turn the jacket and the mood changes. The reverse is cream with dark sleeves, a roaring tiger among waves and bamboo on the back, and red poppies blooming across the shoulders and chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is two jackets in one, a quiet black bomber for the day and a richly embroidered cream one for the evening. Some creasing from storage is recorded, which a visit to the cleaner would relieve.
