NOS Archival KENZO JUNGLE Paris Yellow Linen Blazer Rare 3D Hummingbird & Floral Appliqué Mother-of-Pearl Buttons 90s Deadstock Size M
## Provenance & Era
An exceptional, highly coveted artifact of late 1990s maximalism from the visionary house of Kenzo Takada. This authentic Kenzo Jungle single-breasted blazer is a masterclass in joyful, artisanal couture, rendered in a breathtakingly vibrant straw-yellow/ochre hue. Created during an era when Kenzo Takada was redefining Parisian fashion with global, eclectic influences, this unworn deadstock piece perfectly encapsulates the vibrant energy and meticulous craftsmanship that defined his late 90s runway presentations.
## Design & Architectural Silhouette
The architectural silhouette of this tailored chassis serves as a brilliant canvas for an intricate, three-dimensional mixed-media appliqué situated on the front panel. The artwork showcases a beautifully textured hummingbird feeding on delicate botanical blossoms, meticulously executed through layered fabric intarsia, metallic satin-stitch embroidery, and hand-applied translucent square sequins. The single-breasted closure is secured by heavy, high-grade organic Mother-of-Pearl buttons, featuring a stunning natural iridescent marbling that perfectly anchors the rich ochre textile.
## Textile & Material Science
Crafted from 100% premium-weight raw linen, the textile offers a beautifully organic, slubbed texture that retains its architectural form with unyielding structural integrity. The interior reveals an uncompromising approach to luxury tailoring: a dual-layered lining engineered from 61% Acetate and 39% premium Bemberg Cupro. This specific cupro integration provides a silk-like, ultra-smooth glide and anti-static breathability that is the absolute hallmark of elite, traditional bespoke tailoring.
