Welcome to the jungle! Fuelling the anticipation for the reboot of animated classic The Jungle Book, the Parisian house Kenzo has teamed up with Disney to create a sizable ready-to-wear capsule of cheeky pieces for men and women. Marrying archival Kenzo florals with art from the beloved 1967 original movie, the styles are right in step with the runways' current taste for tropicalia—and the new life the Hawaiian shirt has enjoyed in recent months. Bearing heady, Technicolor prints of Mowgli, Baloo the bear, and co., styles like silk twill dresses and poplin buttondowns, capture a bit of the magic that made the animated feature so beloved. Among the favorites of the collection is an insouciant riff on the Kenzo tiger logo sweatshirt featuring Shere Khan the tiger.


Kenzo and Bergdorf Goodman, the collaboration's exclusive U.S. retailer, will fete the movie, as well as BG's forthcoming Jungle Book windows, with an intimate cocktail and screening.


Kenzo x The Jungle Book is available from April 1 exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman, and from April 7 at kenzo.com.
