Deconstructed Sweater with Faux Front Placket and Side Tie Straps (Red)
The design cleverly deconstructs and reimagines a relaxed, loose-fitting turtleneck combined with the traditional Japanese jinbei silhouette. A jinbei panel extends from the left side of the sweater, adding visual layers to the look, while a waist tie allows for styling flexibility—whether tied or left to hang naturally—offering multiple styling options. Notably, through special knitting techniques, the arms, neckline, and hem are crafted with intentional distressed details, creating subtle transparency that highlights the color of the inner layers. The turtleneck can be folded down for a sleek look or worn up to increase warmth.

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."
