A photo from the event. KENZO participated in Qout Market this year through a unique collaboration with local coffee truck, Modiscoffee. The exciting partnership introduced a fresh and exciting concept to Kuwait’s favourite farmer’s market. KENZO’s presence at Qout also marked the first time an international fashion brand was featured at the popular local market.

The collaboration saw Modiscoffee, a unique artisanal coffee concept in Kuwait, serve delicious handcrafted coffee in KENZO-branded cups, from a KENZObranded vintage Volkswagen KOMPI 1975 campervan. Visitors at Al Shaheed Park also walked away with a gift card to present at The Avenues KENZO boutique for a special, limited-edition gift.

Qout Market started out in 2013 as a much-needed platform for local farmers, craftsmen, and food enthusiasts looking to share their passion with an equally eager audience. Qout brings the local community together in a relaxed setting where they can learn more about the vendors and sample what’s on offer while mingling with the dynamic crowd and enjoying live music.

The Parisian fashion house epitomizes the spirit of Qout Market, particularly in the way it approaches life with nonchalant conviction, an open mind and respect for where they have previously tread. Much like the latest Fall/Winter collection itself, KENZO desires to play homage some of its most notable codes whilst driving forward with an irreverent appreciation for what is to come.
