Gildas Loaëc & Masaya Kuroki, Founders of Maison Kitsuné
contemporary / kitsuné music & cafe
Origin: Paris, France
A symbol of versatility
Created in 2002 by Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki, Maison Kitsuné offers a unique and inspirational blending of a fashion brand (Maison Kitsuné), music label (Kitsuné Musique) and coffee shops (Café Kitsuné).
Over the last 2 decades, the multi-faceted brand has consistently grown and increased an international following with a loyal fan base.
“We’d spend nights DJing club nights and our days meeting stores and talking about clothing. It’s a bit like what Virgil Abloh is doing today pretty much, but back in the day.”
“Maison” is the French word for “house, and “Kitsuné” is the Japanese word for “fox”, a symbol of versatility. Legend has it, the fox possesses the power to change its appearance, just like Maison Kitsuné knows how to adapt to their multi-faceted approach to fashion, music and cafes.
