Francon Editions
Produced to the highest standards using quality fabrics, Francon editions correspond to specific situations and the moods they evoke, rather than the distracting edicts of the fashion system. An emphasis on setting as opposed to season makes for beautiful pieces which build over time into a coherent and timeless wardrobe for the modern woman.
Founded in 2021, Francon forms a collaboration between creative director May and architect Kees Kaan. During her career at – among others – Saint Laurent, May Kaan discovered how the fashion industry has shifted away from our daily lives. It’s an industry that’s ripe for transformation. Kees Kaan’s profession and view became a surprising source of inspiration for doing things differently.
Five foundational lines
Being in a metropolitan city feels different from being in the countryside. When standing in a skyscraper in New York City, we behave differently than we would in a Florentine palazzo. These different perceptions are key to Kaan’s designs. Therefore, the brand is built around five foundational lines: The Lake House, Tower, Cabin, Palazzo and Chalet – each of which is defined by the lifestyle of the archetype. Together, Francon’s items become a collection of permanence that will stand the test of time.
