K3 design by Kenzo Takada

K 三, between simplicity and refinement

Inspired by the Japanese art called Kintsugi of repairing broken porcelain by gluing the pieces together with lacquer sprinkled with gold, the brand's name, K3, evokes this technique. It represents the idea that the Japanese have of how to ennoble something by keeping it simple.

The brand's creations blend Western and Eastern influences and are organized around different themes.

One is inspired by nature and features sumptuous floral designs in pastel hues including some golden touches bringing a relaxing and harmonious atmosphere.

A second combines, in bright red and pink hues, geometric lines with more organic shapes reminiscent of the delicacy and refinement of young geishas dressed in kimonos with complex and colorful designs.

Finally, the last theme revolves around black and ivory colors. Bringing solemnity and theatricality, it brings together elegant graphic and geometric patterns.
