KENZO’s SS23 collection encapsulates all Artistic Director Nigo’s influences – and it’s only his second offering for the French house. Plucked from the line-up, these shorts are cut from hardwearing cotton canvas to a workwear-inspired silhouette complete with cargo pockets, one of which comes stitched with a branded label. Not only does it nod to the designer’s love of Americana, it also references Japanese flora and fauna with the familiar boke flower forming the button.| KENZO cotton-canvas shorts100% cottonExposed button and concealed zip-fly fastening at frontRegular fit, mid-rise, belt loops, two slip pockets at sides, two flap pockets at legs, two flap pockets at back, branded hardware, all-over panelling, partially linedMachine wash coldSize UK 40: rise 11in / 28cm, inside leg 11in / 28cm, leg opening 22in / 56cmModel is 6ft 2in/1.88m and wears a size UK 40Midweight, non-stretch
