France, and especially Paris, has always been the epitome of fashion. Here at Repertoire we have 3 stand out brands that will add the perfect Parisian touch to your men’s casual wardrobe…
Maison Kitsuné
Created in 2002 by Gildas Loaëc, Masaya Kuroki and the London-based graphics company Åbäke, Maison Kitsuné is a fashion label which began life also as a French electronic music record label. Inspired by vibrant graphic prints, including their iconic Pixel Fox, and minimal Parisian designs. The name Kitsuné comes from the Japanese word for Fox. In Japan, the fox is said to be able to change it’s appearance which related to the different directions taken in Maison Kitsuné’s designs. Signature t-shirts, polos and sweats are recognisable by strong branding often featuring striped prints and graphics referencing the Maison Kitsuné brand and it’s French heritage.
