Pop star Britney Spears models the new Spring/Summer 2018 collection by Kenzo. Famed photographer and director Peter Lindbergh captured the celebrity in a lavish and cheeky fashion editorial that showcases some of the luxe label's statement denim pieces—from caps and jackets to thigh-high lace-up boots and underwear. The photographic representation turns a tropical corner as silhouettes with Kenzo's staple motifs, like "the tiger, the Great Wave of Kanagawa and [a] bamboo tiger print," are introduced.
Dubbed the 'La Collection Memento N°2,' the 2018 capsule has a deeper meaning and significance aside from the fact that Britney Spears models it. The line pays homage to the fashion house's original creator—Kenzo Takada and "his first foray into denim back in the 1970s."
