'The Jungle Book' clothing collection is here and it's stunning
Fans of the upcoming live-action flick, The Jungle Book, can celebrate by wearing a limited-edition collaboration with Kenzo.
In anticipation of the film's release on April 15, the brand partnered with Disney to create a stunning line of sweatshirts, printed shorts and shirts, among other items.

The Jon Favreau-directed film, which stars Lupita Nyong'o, Scarlett Johansson and Idris Elba, inspired men's and women's pieces that also pay homage to the animated movie's classic characters. That means shirts and sweaters embroidered or printed with King Louie, Bagheera and, of course, Mowgli.
The collaboration isn't so farfetched. Kenzo, in fact, has many jungle references in its history. The French house's first store was called "Jungle Jap," founded in 1970 by Kenzo Takada. The brand even came out with a fragrance called "Jungle" in 1996.
“I think the movie is about this idea of the duality of humans and nature and protecting nature, and I think that the house is really about that, as well,” said Carol Lim, co-creative director at Kenzo, to Vogue.
The collection is available exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman starting Friday and at Kenzo.com starting April 7.
