The description on Browns' website reads:
"This capsule revisits and riffs on the poppy print, a key motif in the archives of Kenzo Takada. Nigo, the brand’s Artistic Director, approached the poppy symbol from a contemporary point of view, applying it to garments which fuse his modern fashion sensibility with the brand’s iconic history."
