Maison Kitsune is more than just that: it’s a fashion and music label, as well as a coffee shop chain. The label was founded by Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki in 2002, when the two were in Japan to work on the production of a Daft Punk cartoon. The brand came to represent a Paris-meets-Tokyo fusion, hence the combination of French and Japanese in the name. “Maison” means “house” in French, while “kitsune” is “fox” in Japanese—they wanted to be a display of versatility. Today, it has grown into an international name that continues to expand its influence in music, fashion, and coffee culture.
Maison Kitsune is known for its quirky and versatile designs in its clothes for both men and women. Items like the Maison Kitsune Baby Fox Patch Cosy Cardigan Dark Grey, for example, are classic enough to be worn anywhere but with a quirky twist. The cardigan contains the orange fox logo on the front. Maison Kitsune also makes more colorful designs that stand out, such as the Maison Kitsune Acide Fox—Christina Zimpel Design T-shirt in Grey Melange. This t-shirt contains a graphic painting of a fox in many bright colors, which stands out against the gray background.
Maison Kitsune has made a name for itself as an intersectional force in fashion, music, and more. If you are looking for more brands with contemporary fashion designs, you can check out theAxel Arigato collection on StockX.
