Maison Kitsuné is one of those special hybrid labels that crosses multiple artistic boundaries, successfully creating an overall lifestyle brand. Founded in 2002 as an electronic music label by the French-Japanese duo, Gildas Loaëc (former Daft Punk manager) and Masaya Kuroki, the brand organically branched out into additional production of clothes and cafes. The Parisian-Tokyo charm comes naturally through in the label’s well-crafted, preppy varsity-style clothes combined with its eclectic pop music compilations and notable signed artists such as Two Door Cinema Club, La Roux, and Phoenix. With flagships and cafes in Paris, Tokyo, NYC, and Hong Kong, as well as the parties the brand produces around the world, Kitsuné magnetizes everywhere a “cool” crowd around it… Ellie Goulding and Jay Z amongst others…
