Can you tell us how it all started\u2026?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think, that I always wanted to be a fashion designer, there was nothing else I ever thought of becoming. I liked to dress up when I was young and I loved to make me own kind of fashion, which was not always the best look in the world but had a place in my growning up.`<\/p>\n<p><strong>We are very proud to have you as Maison Kitsun\u00e9&#8217;s new collaborative designer. How did this fashion encountering happen?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have known Gildas and Masaya for years and when Gildas asked us if we wanted to work with them, well I was very happy and thought &#8220;this could work&#8217; London and Paris comes together. It really was very simple Gildas asked and I said yes without much thinking. I have always loved Maison Kitsun\u00e9 menswear and this year I got my first Kitsune suit. I&#8217;m happy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What inspired you to make this capsule collection come to life?<\/strong><br \/>\nI was\u00a0 looking at pieces from the PJ archive and how to make them come to life in a different way, in a different light, if you like. I think, it worked. It was also a really good way of dressing Kitsun\u00e9 fans in some PJ fashion and make people that didn&#8217;t know about me and my brand aware of what I stand for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Give us a few of your thoughts on London\u2019s and Paris&#8217; street style.<\/strong><br \/>\nThat is very hard for me to say anything about,because I like looking at older women on the street, I think they dress really chic. I think, that is the same in London and Paris. Chic older ladies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At Maison Kitsun\u00e9, our spirit animal is the fox Japanese mythical creature &#8211; what is Peter Jensen&#8217;s rabbit story?!<\/strong><br \/>\nThe rabbit comes from our SS01 &#8220;Mildred&#8221; collection, which was the 2nd collection that we did. It was just the perfect little rabbit that needed to have his own life. It was first used as a repeat print and afterwards as the PJ logo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Last but not least, could you give us your favourite spot(s) to hang out in London?<\/strong><br \/>\nIn my local pub or at home.<\/p>\n<p>Credits: Dante Holdsworth<\/p>\n<p>Peter Jensen for Maison Kitsun\u00e9 Capsule Collection now available <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1zjfUW2\" target=\"_blank\">online<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1qqHyuM\" target=\"_blank\">in store<\/a> !<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas is just around the corner!
