INF 23AW Deconstructed Knightly Overcoat with Tie-front Printed Shirt
This season takes inspiration from the "Ama", continuously deconstructing and reshaping traditional silhouettes, incorporating wave-like elements. Embracing the brand's expertise in deconstructive style, it once again presents the transformative and versatile "one garment, multiple styles" design. In today's gender-neutral fashion landscape, the brand continues to deconstruct and redefine representative clothing for both men and women while maintaining its classic dark aesthetic DNA.
In this clothing design, the traditional knightly overcoat and formal shirt are deconstructed to introduce a unique style. The design incorporates two straps extending from the collar, replacing the original first and second buttons of the shirt. These straps allow for flexible adjustment of the collar's openness or closure, adding a dynamic element to the garment.
On the left side, a dual-layered panel construction is achieved by deconstructing the body piece. On the right side, a single-layered large lapel design is created, introducing a contrasting layering effect between the lapel and panel. This intricate asymmetry enhances the overall richness of the ensemble.
The right-sided lapel cleverly extends into a belt buckle and tie, not only adding visual depth to the attire but also allowing the tie to be fastened to the left side. This subtle touch imparts a hint of Japanese aesthetic to the overall look.
This season's prints draw deep inspiration from the natural environment. Our INF team embarked on a journey to the beach, collecting common marine waste such as fishing nets, plastic bottles, and caps.Through digital synthesis techniques, these ocean waste materials are transformed into printed patterns.This fusion of beauty and decay results in a fashionable yet eco-conscious style. Additionally, the fabric is crafted using recycled PET bottle yarn, symbolizing our commitment to the coexistence of the Haenyeo culture with marine sustainability.

"We are squandering the resources bestowed upon us by nature, and we don't have a second Earth."
This season, the clothing structure draws inspiration from the characteristics of the ocean, incorporating wave-like elements into garments such as shirts and suit hems. The use of crisscrossing straps and ties evokes imagery reminiscent of swimwear. By leveraging the differences in fabric textures, the combination of glossy fabrics and straps creates a layered effect, mimicking the appearance of clothing worn by a sea nymph when soaked by seawater.
The print designs are inspired by the glistening ripples reflected on the sea's surface. Utilizing digital synthesis techniques, these prints transform ocean waste materials into patterns that blend the beautiful and the unsettling, creating a fashionable style. The choice of fabric material is particularly environmentally conscious, as recycled PET bottles are used to create yarn, symbolizing the coexistence of sustainability with the sea nymph culture.
This season's collection not only embraces the essence of the ocean but also pays tribute to ecological awareness. It combines ocean-inspired structural elements with innovative digital print designs and eco-friendly fabric choices, aligning fashion with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility.
