MAISON KITSUNÉ UNVEILS THE SPRING–SUMMER 2026 COLLECTION, THE FIRST BY CREATIVE DIRECTOR ABIGAIL SMILEY-SMITH

 

Voyage Vestiaire, the collection takes inspiration from the perspective of a Japanese traveller rediscovering Paris. Through this narrative, Maison Kitsuné explores the encounter between Parisian elegance and Japanese refinement, blending tradition and modernity in a wardrobe that feels at once familiar and new. 

“At Maison Kitsuné, I wanted to express a Paris that is constantly reinvented through the eyes of an outsider — both curious and reverent,” explains Abigail Smiley-Smith. “The collection is about building a functional yet poetic wardrobe that reflects this dual heritage of Paris and Tokyo.”

The silhouettes are clean, fluid and versatile, designed to adapt seamlessly from day to evening. Menswear reinterprets Parisian preppy classics with technical fabrics and precise tailoring, while womenswear balances structure and movement, capturing the rhythm of contemporary city life. Wardrobe staples such as the Mac coat, barn jacket and coach jacket are reimagined with utilitarian details, inspired by hunting and fishing garments, while maintaining a refined, urban attitude.

Craftsmanship and texture play a central role in Spring Summer 2026. Innovative fabrics — from crinkled poplins to Japanese cotton blends and lightweight technical seersuckers — bring depth and relief, enhancing both comfort and elegance. Colors evoke the warmth of Parisian summer afternoons: earthy neutrals, pale greens, and delicate blush pinks, accented by prints referencing Paris’s cultural heritage, from Art Deco motifs to gallery-inspired graphics.

With this first collection, Abigail Smiley-Smith establishes a new creative chapter for Maison Kitsuné, reaffirming its identity as a house rooted in Paris–Tokyo duality, where timeless elegance meets contemporary experimentation.
