Kitsuné SS12 feature

Spring / Summer 2012

Its hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Monsieurs Loaec and Kuroki burst onto the scene with Maison Kitsune. The French lifestyle brand is feeling as relevant as ever and the Spring/Summer collection sees Kitsune at their absolute best, combining classic Ivy League prep stylings with modern Parisian sensibilities.

Never one to shy away from overriding thematic inspirations, Kitsune have chosen F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic The Great Gatsby as a reference point for this season. The timelessness and sophistication of the 1925 novel has been manifested through classic silhouettes such as button-down oxfords, boat shirts and pique cotton polos all available in beautiful muted pastel shades.

Fabrics such as organic cottons, pure linens and merino wools have been sourced from various regions around Japan, Italy and France and as ever the detailing is subtle yet executed to absolute perfection. Kitsune are undoubtedly one of the most consistent collections out there and here at Tres Bien we hope they continue to deliver for another 10 years to come.
