Maison Kitsune Introduces its Women's Fall/Winter 2015 Collection

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

I just got the fashion insider scoop on the new Fall/Winter Women's 2015 Maison Kitsune collection. Taking inspiration from the 70's, which is the hottest decade and trend right now, the new collection is all the rage, check out the details below.

"Winter 2015-2016 at Maison Kitsuné pays tribute to the mysterious soul and beauty of South Korea. Known as the "land of the morning calm," South Korea significantly contributes to its pop culture with design, color and patterns; this season Maison Kitsuné celebrates those aesthetics.

For its latest collection, the brand utilizes a series of sophisticated cuts and details for women. Luxurious, refined and textured fabrics are boldly combined in the season's patterns - houndstooth, stripes, checkered prints – and playfully juxtaposed. As a result, the mixture of volumes, lengths and layers offsets slightly androgynous neo-urban silhouettes.

A handsome palette of neutrals – black, grey and an array of blues – is counterbalanced with soft shades of white, ecru and sand, and further illuminated with dashes of red and silver.

Inspired by the delicate dream-like drawings of South Korean artist Moonassi, and the trigrams represented on the South Korean flag, Maison Kitsuné presents brand new screen-printed pieces and prints, which allude to these designs.

"Kim" becomes "K.I.M,” short for "Kitsuné Institute of Music,” a nod to Kitsuné's musical heritage.

Conceived by co-founders and creative directors Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki, Maison Kitsuné's "K.I.M" introduces a smart women's collection playfully reminding of the style and spirit of the 1970s."

Sky Ferreira, singer-songwriter, model and actress, appears to be the face of Maison Kitsuné's Spring/Summer 2014 collection. 

Following the debut of her successful album Night Time, My Time, Ferreira is joining forces with the brand to lend her talents and beauty to its "New Wave" themed collection, inspired by New York's young artists and musicians on the rise.

"We are thrilled to work with Sky this season," says Gildas Loaëc, co-founder of Maison Kitsuné. "We tend to stray from the conventional and lead with bold creativity, which Sky embodies perfectly."

Captured by Henrik Purienne, the famed fashion photographer and filmmaker, whose images are renowned for their sensuality and romance, this exciting campaign brings a Parisian sensibility to life in the big apple.
