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.
In traditional Japan, men typically wore plain colors, but Kabukimono preferred vibrant garments with elaborate designs, and coordinated themselves with such extravagant hairdos, large accessories like oversized swords and pipes, embodying a spirit of individualism and boldness. Designer Kuo Wei emphasized the parallels between historical and modern eccentricities in fashion.
