Kitsuné Ties the Nautical Knot—Twice!

Kitsuné—the foxy new rave in France and Japan—is not only spinning music with fashion but also hooking up with other like-minded brands, such as United Bamboo and Petit Bateau.

Founded 1998 in New York by Japanese designer Miho Aoki and Vietnamese designer Thuy Pham, United Bamboo has successfully pioneered a lifestyle out of a label, all through the collaboration of downtown Manhattan artists, musicians, and curators.

Now, Kitsuné has joined hands with United Bamboo in a limited edition of nautical-themed apparel entitled Modern Marines, which is available at United Bamboo and Honeyee stores.

Kitsuné has also tied the nautical knot recently with the French children’s label, Petit Bateau, in a limited edition of clean, classic v-neck tees.

Petit Bateau was created in 1893 by Pierre Valton whose son, Etienne, inspired the name in 1918 after the French lyrics, “Ma, do the little boats (p’tits bateaux) that go on the water have legs?”

Masaya Kuroki (Japanese) and Gildas Loaec (French) founded Kitsuné in 2002 out of their intense love for music and fashion.
