Maison Kitsuné presents their debut collaboration with iconic heritage brand Barbour: a collection which reflects Barbour’s renowned classicism through Maison Kitsuné’s modern lens. British tradition meets the irreverent idiosyn – crasies of Maison Kitsuné’s French-Japanese perspective in a new take on Barbour classics.

A campaign that presents a series of humorous events and fashion, portraying a light-hearted take of this season’s new collaboration with a “No Stress” concept: A series of unfortunate mishaps.

In an unexpected encounter, the maison’s iconic Fox appears embroidered across quilted and waxed cotton jackets, while legacy silhouettes are reimagined through audacious colour blocking. Reversible jackets and totes offer the best of both worlds, while a bucket hat is at once distinctly utilitarian and yet rooted in the contemporary culture of streetwear.

Barbour’s renowned functionality is imbued with fresh energy, and Maison Kitsuné’s playful approach to design finds a new format: this is a collection of elevated, effortless essentials, designed to be life-proof, whether worn in the countryside or the city.

Our two brands deeply care for excellence, craftsmanship and innovation. Barbour has an incredible heritagein outerwear, and it was a fascinating experience to work on a collection together. Sharing our creative visions,developing a new narrative, and rethinking iconic silhouettes was fun, spontaneous, and exciting.”MAISON KITSUNÉ

“Working with the Maison Kitsuné team has been a great learning experience.Set up in 2002 by Gildas Loaëc & Masaya Kuroki the ‘House of the Fox’ clothing brand has always been suchan interesting proposition. Part of a company that spans music and cafes as well as clothing, it epitomizesan irreverent sense of fun combined with a genuine chic Paris-Tokyo aesthetic. Creating a joint character motifwith the fox was at the heart of the collab and has worked very well as an icebreaker in introducingBarbour DNA and construction as a nod and a wink to the everchanging fashion business that is the heartof Maison Kitsuné. It’s an impactful micro-collection across wax jackets, quilted pieces, bags, hats and clothing,which really merges together a playfulness and attention to detail and craft.””IAN BERGIN
