This design reinterprets the classic tailored short blazer by deconstructing formal and casual elements into a cohesive statement piece. While retaining the sharp shoulder lines and padding of a traditional blazer, it introduces a relaxed silhouette that exudes effortless comfort. The right lapel is creatively folded back using deconstruction techniques, creating an asymmetrical collar, while the left shoulder extends into an armor-like flap reminiscent of Japanese samurai aesthetics, adding a bold visual impact.
A waist tie is strategically incorporated to cinch the blazer, emphasizing its structural lines and sculpted silhouette. Practicality meets style with two functional front pockets, while a vent at the back ensures ease of movement and prevents excessive fabric bunching around the hips.
This blazer pairs effortlessly with slim-fit trousers to highlight clean lines, or wide-leg pants to play with volume and create a layered, avant-garde look. Whether styled for a polished or laid-back ensemble, it’s a versatile piece that seamlessly bridges modern fashion and unconventional tailoring.

The collection drew inspiration from Kabuki culture, a group known for their extravagant attire and unconventional behavior during Japan's late Sengoku period. These individuals, referred to as "Kabukimono," shaped contemporary pop culture with their bold and unconventional lifestyle. Reflecting on the present, fashion continues to be driven by innovation and rebellion, INF wants to invite everyone to become modern-day Kabukimono.
The clothing structure draws on traditional Japanese silhouettes, such as haori, hakama, and jinbei, as the foundation, and deconstructs them with modern pieces like suits and shirts. Designs like kimono bomber jackets and jinbei suits strike a perfect balance between vintage and innovation. In line with INF’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, the collection uses the highest-quality materials and tailored designs, allowing the garments to adapt to various occasions, reducing waste and fashion excess. As designer Kuo Wei puts it: "We aim to prevent waste before it happens, enhancing the brand's sustainability impact."
