Humberto Leon And Carol Lim Are Exiting Kenzo

has parted ways with creative directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim after eight years. The pair, who co-founded Opening Ceremony, will present their last collection for the LVHM-owned fashion house in Paris on June 23 during the men’s spring/summer 2020 shows. Their contract officially ends on July 1.

Leon and Lim were brought on to take the creative helm of the house by former LVMH head Pierre-Yves Roussel in 2011. The duo – who formed multi-brand boutique Opening Ceremony in 2002 and quickly became known for their eye for emerging talent – was charged with bringing back the buzz around the 1970-born house.10 Jan 2019

The pair revamped Japanese designer Kenzo Takada’s legacy with branded “merch”, including its tiger tees and jumpers, before it became a mainstream trend. But, despite an industry-wide appreciation of their work, Kenzo remained a small earner within LVMH’s luxury stable. Unlike the Kenzo tiger-branded streetwear, the brand’s collaborations with Leon and Lim’s creative circle – such as films by friends Carrie Brownstein and Natasha Lyonne – failed to resonate with customers.
