MR PORTER releases its first collaborative capsule collection with Parisian brand Maison Kitsuné: a two-part drop that features the latter’s signature penchant for putting a French spin on American classics. Inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s animated film, “The Wind Rises,” which depicts the life of a Japanese aircraft designer during WWII, the collection draws heavy influence from retro travel motifs.

Several pieces, including a short-sleeved button-down and a navy satin bomber jacket, feature a haphazard pattern of primary-colored tourist stickers from locations like New York, Paris, London, and Australia, while an “I heart Maison Kitsuné” T-shirt playfully twists tees that fill souvenir shops in nearly every city around the world. True to Maison Kitsuné form, the collection also features classics like a chambray button-down, a slim-fit Polo shirt, and two-toned penny loafers.

The 18-piece line is one of many collaborations between MR PORTER and high-end labels, wherein brands like Public School and Kingsman design exclusive pieces for the site and will be available in Maison Kitsuné’s Paris location at the end of June, in its Tokyo location in October, and sold online exclusively at MR PORTER.
