Iconic singer/songwriter Britney Spears has become the new face of the Collection Memento N° 2 line at Zenzo.
Creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon are over the moon to be working with Britney on the brand’s blast from the past. They tell vogue that Kenzo “is all about icons. Britney is certainly an icon and the quintessential queen of denim.” And needless to say, she still rocks the denim on denim look.
This tribute to the Kenzo jeans in 1986 immediately brings a sense of nostalgia, complimenting the fun and youthful 80s attitude that this collection brings.
“I did lots of denim when I was a kid, and still do – it’s really versatile and fun, and just goes with everything”. Referencing her memorable 2001 denim look she added, “And it can be dressy and cool too. I once wore a denim dress to an awards show.”
Behind the fame, Britney is a 36-year-old mum who tells Kenzo that this look reminds her of her youth and how motherhood has changed the way she dresses day to day. When Spears is home with her boys, Sean and Jayden, she tells Vogue that she is “in a nightgown most of the time”.
“I think when I was younger I took so many risks and really went for it. There was no planning what I wore, and it was like, okay, I am just going to put on the most outrageous thing. I think as a mother you hold back from that out of fear of embarrassing your kids and out of respect for them.”
Moral of the story…You can never wear too much denim.
