  • Story Text: - INTRO: Japanese designer Kenzo cast off his splashy colours and joyful floral prints at his Autumn-Winter men's collection on Saturday in favour of dark and drab shades of grey, brown, black and navy blue, with an occasional flash of red.

    Coats were longer, trousers flared and shirts mostly tieless, and the models sometimes even strolled about in skirts, at the fashion show of Japanese designer Kenzo on Saturday.

    There was a dressed down, comfortable look to the clothing, whether the suits were pinstriped or velvet, the coats of fur or gabardine. Touches of the unusual came in the beads that shivered at the tip of a necktie, ethnic alpaca caps, and skirty, layered shirts.
