Filmmaker Quentin Jones (of Victoria Beckham and Chanel stop-motion fame) directed Kenzo's high-energy and very cool short introducing the brand's pre-Fall 2012 line. The video is basically what would happen if Super Nintendo Mario met the Fresh Prince of Bel Air (on the playground where he spent most of his days), and the resulting mix made a cameo on Gumbi, if Gumbi were paper animation rather than claymation. If that seems confusing, just know that hula hoops and wrist streamers are in there, too.
