INF 24AW Deconstructed Japanese Kimono-inspired Wide Sleeve Tie Shirt (Black)
INF 24AW Deconstructed Japanese Kimono-inspired Wide Sleeve Tie Shirt (Black)
This shirt reinterprets the classic design, using a traditional shirt as the foundation but with a fresh, deconstructed approach. The collar and placket are reworked to reveal an elegant cutout on the right collarbone, creating a sense of space and layering that subtly enhances the skin's natural contours. This design is cleverly mirrored by the cutout detail on the left shoulder. The sleeves are inspired by the season's theme, incorporating elements of kimono sleeves to infuse the classic shirt with Eastern elegance and a soft, powerful aesthetic. A tie belt at the waist adds versatility—cinching to accentuate the waist for a slim fit or left to hang loosely, offering a more relaxed and fluid look, adding flexibility to the overall outfit.
Whether paired with high-waisted trousers to create a sleek, tailored silhouette or combined with a soft skirt to highlight an elegant, graceful vibe, this piece effortlessly adapts to various occasions, merging practicality with high fashion.

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."
