Kenzo — Kenzo was founded by designer Kenzo Takada in 1970 and brought color, pattern, and whimsy into a largely utilitarian environment. The brand kind of flew under the radar in the late '90s (for us Kenzo fans, we resigned ourselves to hard-core Kenzo thrifting for early '80s and '70s gear) until Humberto Leon and Carol Lim of Opening Ceremony took over.

In just one season, they took the stagnant brand and brought it back to life, and now Kenzo's bright, poppy duds are some of the most sought-after pieces around. Want evidence? See here and here and here and here.
