This piece cleverly blends elements of traditional Japanese jinbei with the sharp tailoring of a modern shirt, creating a distinctive fashion statement. The design features a deconstructed collar, with the left side of the collar forming a sharp, stand-up effect, while the left side of the shirt is also deconstructed, showcasing an asymmetrical design that adds a bold, avant-garde touch. Hidden buttons are used to secure the asymmetrical look, while the faux two-piece sleeve design further enriches the shirt's layered structure. Whether worn casually or styled for a more formal occasion, this piece exudes a strong sense of individuality and fashion-forward style.

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."
