Younghae Jo
Strengths: 1. Kenzo is considered as a high-end brand because most interviewers who were interviewed by Michael Korchia, responded its image as a high-priced ready-to-wear brand. In other words, Kenzo has been doing well in advertising their brand and its image. In addition to that, "We do not simply sell products, we sell a brand concept" is a motto for Kenzo 2. To be specific about their advertisement strategy, they currently tried to accelerate the concentration on the core business by building an autonomous identity for their brand. 3.

Weaknesses: 1. Patterns and silhouettes of clothes may seem too young for women who are in between the ages of 30 and 40 because most of them would be mothers or career women. I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't want to go to school affairs or work places with short skirts and sporty sweat shirts with wild patterns on them.

Weaknesses to Strengths 1. Since most of Kenzo's womenswear fit better for younger customers than its target market, I think lowering its price can increase brand loyalty for younger customers and eventually get a financial benefit from it.

Threats: 1. Or customers' general fashion sense and Kenzo's brand image("haute couture") may be threatening its marketing strategy. 2.Kenzo's target market is mostly between the ages of 30 and 40.
