A collaboration between Maison Kitsune and SOTO Berlin has resulted in a capsule collection for the Spring/Summer 2014 season.
The French brand's signature tee and sweater was reworked with a Germanic flair. In other words, Paris meets Berlin and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Along with the clothing, the collection offers an iPhone 5 case emblazoned with the seasonal design. The capsule collection is available in-store and online at SOTO Berlin.
The cultural and aesthetic blend is reflected in the lookbook. A blissful-looking couple enjoy a Parisian picnic -- wine, cheese, grapes and, of course, croissants -- while a make-shift interpretation of the Eiffel Tower twinkles nearby. The delighted couple wear shirts that read 'Berlinois,' again, reflecting the coalescence of two different worlds.
