Maison Kitsuné

The collection took cues from a make-believe place called Romance, a fusion of Los Angeles and Miami.

Maison Kitsuné designers Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki called on Japanimation for their fall 2016 “Love Rises” men’s collection, interpreting it in their own singular, irreverent way. Referencing Hayao Miyazaki’s animated movie “The Wind Rises,” they mixed militaria with kawai, emblazoning World War II fighter planes, images of Mount Fuji and a crimson rising sun across much of the collection via print, jacquard and embroidered motifs.

On their own, there was nothing exceptionally eccentric about the clothes that comprised Maison Kitsuné's latest men's collection.
