Since 2002, Maison Kitsuné has evolved beyond the concept of a brand, becoming a world of its own, pulsating through fabric, sound, and ritual. Founded by Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki, Kitsuné crafted a whole ecosystem of style, sound, and culture — from Maison Kitsuné, the fashion house, to Kitsuné Musique, the label that makes the world groove; Café Kitsuné, for our favorite espresso o’clock; Desa Kitsuné Bali, a sun-soaked haven for the brand’s lifestyle vision; and Kitsuné Bien-Être, its most recent ode to beauty and wellbeing. For over twenty-three years, this multi-souled brand has built bridges between Paris and Tokyo — growing organically, shining internationally, and nurturing a loyal global community that moves to its rhythm.
They call it Voyage Vestiaire — part wardrobe, part love letter, part jet-lagged dream. It’s the debut of Abigail Smiley-Smith as the new Artistic Director of Maison Kitsuné, reviving a certain Parisian flair, a blend of quiet precision and irreverent charm, an effortless duet between tradition and modernity. “The collection builds a wardrobe that’s functional yet poetic — like a haiku written in French tailoring,” says Abigail Smiley-Smith. The silhouettes flow like conversation — clean, versatile, fluent in both day and night. The women’s looks move with the city — structured, but ready for an impromptu dance. A quiet obsession with the long black dress — a neckline adorned with a subtle silver detail, a back sporty yet sculpted, built for movement, and Cinderella’s midnight grace. The usual suspects — the Mac coat, the work jacket, the coach — all give a glow-up with utilitarian nods to hunting and fishing gear, proving that practicality and style can indeed coexist without embarrassment.
Textiles take center stage. Crinkled poplin, Japanese cotton blends, light technical seersucker — textures that breathe, bend, and whisper stories of craftsmanship. The Savoir-Faire capsule — a seasonal signature — is where Kitsuné flexes its artisanal muscle. Six exclusive pieces: a supple leather jacket, a technical trench, a hand-crocheted shirt, a knit polo, a jewel-kissed evening dress, and a pair of denim born from Japanese tradition. Each comes with its own story tag — as a museum label.
Abigail’s first collection marks a new chapter for Maison Kitsuné, delving into timeless elegance and playful experimentation. A reminder that good style is a language you never stop translating. Maison Kitsuné Spring–Summer 2026 drops early 2026, in stores and online. Pack light — you’ll want room for the souvenirs.
