A STORY BY MAISON KITSUNÉ AND HOTEL OLYMPIA

For the final stop on its Spring-Summer 2023 exploration of everywhere, Maison Kitsuné arrives in Paris. Suspended within an irreverent surreality, the brand presents ‘Sweet Souvenirs’, a story by Maison Kitsuné and Hotel Olympia. Through a playful exploration of Parisian clichés photographed by Anton Gottlob – candy-coloured poodles and supersized macarons offer the cues for a collection which subverts notions of vacation kitsch.​

​

The trademarks of tourism are translated into a complete summer wardrobe with a tongue-in-cheek energy: crests that evoke hotel slippers now embroidered onto espadrilles; souvenir T-shirts illustrated with ice cream sundaes and postcard collages. Poolside prints are transposed onto resort shirting, knitted two-pieces and seersucker tunic dresses; the vintage iconography of palm fronds and synchronised swimmers presenting a playful twist on tradition.

This is a distillation of luscious nonchalance: a collection by Maison Kitsuné and Hotel Olympia which sets the tone for a cool and carefree summer in the city.​

‘Sweet Souvenirs’ by Maison Kitsuné and Hotel Olympia is available in store and online at maisonkitsune.com
