INF 24AW Japanese hakama-style Deconstructed Wide Shorts (Red printing)
These trousers are crafted with a modern suit pant silhouette, incorporating classic elements from traditional Japanese hakama pants, deconstructed and reimagined for a contemporary fit. Design details include a clever integration of the hakama waistband structure at the back, with two pleats running down the trousers, adding dimension and visual interest. The pleats create a dynamic effect as you move, enhancing the overall layered look. For styling, it's recommended to tuck in your top, which not only highlights a sleek, polished silhouette but also showcases the intricate design details at the back. Whether paired with a fitted top for a sharp, tailored look or with loose, relaxed pieces for added layering, these trousers can be the focal point of your outfit, effortlessly adapting to various styles.
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."
