The first chapter of Maison Kitsune’s Spring 2024 campaign is a captivating ode to Paris, the city of arts. This time, the French-Japanese brand takes cues from the art of being a flâneur, observing the passersby go about their busy lives in the vibrant atmosphere of the city. The new collection is centred on denim, adorned with either the new Abstract Daisy print or shaped by the influence of Japanese workwear aesthetics. There’s also the preppy knits that drape effortlessly over pinstriped ensembles, offering a modern rendition of classic tailoring, with a revamped track jacket as the perfect finishing touch. Two up-and-coming French artists, Pierre de Maere and Lomijoh, have been chosen to star in the latest campaign.
