INF 24AW Japanese hakama-style Deconstructed Wide-leg Trousers (Blue printing)
INF 24AW Japanese hakama-style Deconstructed Wide-leg Trousers (Blue printing)
These trousers are based on the modern wide-leg pant silhouette, seamlessly incorporating traditional Japanese hakama elements. Through deconstruction and remaking, the classic design is given a fresh, contemporary update. The details include a hakama-style waistband extension at the back, paired with a drawstring that allows for adjustable styling—whether you choose to cinch it at the waist for a structured look or let it naturally drape for a more relaxed vibe. This piece not only captures the essence of traditional Japanese craftsmanship but also adds depth and versatility to modern outfits. Whether paired with a simple top or a more creatively designed piece, these trousers effortlessly create a fashionable, personalized look.
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."
