Kenzo Lee Hounsou is following in his famous family’s fashionable footsteps.
The 16-year-old son of actor Djimon Hounsou and fashion entrepreneur Kimora Lee Simmons has landed his first modeling campaign with lifestyle brand EVE.
His proud mother announced the news to her followers on Instagram, writing, “So proud of my baby @kenzoklh for his first modeling campaign for @weareeve_ !!! Congratulations! Mama loves you!”
In the new campaign, Kenzo showcases the brand’s latest looks while opening up about his love for basketball and his approach to style.
When asked what a typical day looks like, Kenzo gave fans a glimpse into his packed schedule.
“Wake up, brush your teeth, wash your face, make or order breakfast, go to a workout, then go home and nap for two to three hours, go to another workout, come home, watch some film, play the game a little bit, eat some dinner, and then go to sleep,” he shared.
Before games, Kenzo finds focus through meditation and music.
“I meditate and listen to music for an hour or two before the game. I like to go in a dark room, close my eyes, and listen to music to get hyped for the game.”
When it comes to fashion, he has a clear philosophy: comfort first.
“I make sure that the things I wear are comfortable, and if they’re stylish to others, that’s a bonus. I don’t really worry about that. I focus on my comfort and how I feel,” he shared.
As far as his biggest fashion inspirations, he named his famous mom and model Alton Mason.
“Some fashion influences of mine would definitely be my mom, who helps me and talks to me about those types of things, and Alton Mason, who I really look up to.”
