INF 24AW Deconstructed Japanese Kimono-inspired Longline Suit Jacket (Red printing)
This longline blazer seamlessly blends traditional Japanese kimono elements with modern tailoring, reinterpreting classic design with a contemporary twist. The standout feature lies in the side cutouts at the waist, carefully positioned through meticulous pattern refinement to ensure practicality and aesthetic balance. These cutouts not only allow easy access to trouser pockets but also create opportunities for contrasting layering with different-colored bottoms, adding depth and versatility to any outfit.
The hemline is adorned with multiple pleats, enhancing the garment's sense of movement and visual interest as it flows with every step. A waist tie adds flexibility, allowing wearers to cinch it for a sharp, tailored silhouette or leave it loosely draped for a relaxed, effortless vibe.
Whether styled with slim-fit trousers for a sleek, polished look or paired with wide-leg pants or skirts for a layered, elegant appeal, this blazer offers a unique blend of functionality and fashion. Perfect for those who love experimenting with versatile, statement pieces that exude personality and style.
This season's print takes inspiration from the kamon crests of Japan's Sengoku period, featuring a unique pattern of cranes inspired by the traditional Japanese folktale Tsuru no Ongaeshi ("The Grateful Crane"). Rendered in INF's signature dark tones, with additional hues of red and blue, this print strikes a balance between modern sensibility and traditional charm.

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."
