INF 24SS Deconstructed Chef's Uniform Multilayer Shirt
INF 24SS Deconstructed Chef's Uniform Multilayer Shirt
This season, the design concept centers around the idea of a banquet table, where traditional clothing elements are deconstructed and reimagined to create a variety of garments infused with the characteristics of a "head chef." Continuously breaking down and reshaping conventional silhouettes, the collection embraces the brand's expertise in the deconstructive style of one garment, multiple wears.The result is a reconstruction and deconstruction of traditional styles into modern and trendy shirt designs, featuring the introduction of several classic gender-neutral pieces in this season's lineup.
This shirt seamlessly combines the traditional chef's uniform with a Japanese kimono-inspired silhouette. The left side of the shirt collar extends into a panel resembling a suit vest, while the design of the inner layer's hem draws inspiration from the classic tailoring of a tuxedo, creating a multi-layered clothing structure on the left side, elevating the overall look to a new level of sophistication.
You have the flexibility to fasten the outer panel, or leave it unfastened, creating an asymmetrical V-neck design that naturally drapes, giving you a minimalist and unrestrictive style that can make a statement in any setting or occasion.
This shirt can be paired with the brand's classic Japanese deconstructed shorts, adding depth to the overall outfit and creating visually captivating effects. It can also be combined with the season's deconstructed wide-leg pants, offering a balance between elegant refinement and a distinct sense of design in the overall ensemble.

The inspiration for this season comes from the traditional Taiwanese banquet known as "Ban-Doh." Ban-Doh is not just about catering; it's a complete banquet service that connects people during every special occasion such as weddings, funerals, celebrations of newborns, and temple festivals. It weaves connections between individuals who wish to meet and chat on special days, making it an integral part of Taiwanese culture.
"Ban-Doh" not only pays homage to the gradually fading Taiwanese culture but also aims to reinterpret tradition with a modern flair, following our brand's 21SS collection, "Connextion," in hopes to emphasize the importance of human connections in today's society.
In terms of clothing design, we've incorporated elements inspired by the season's theme, deconstructing and reconstructing traditional attire. Particularly, we've focused on the distinctive attire of the "Ban-Doh" master, reimagining its iconic double-breasted jacket and apron into modern shirt styles. The prints draw inspiration from traditional Ban-Doh elements such as round tables, red plastic chairs, lanterns, and canopies. These elements are deconstructed and cleverly combined, arranged in a pixelated manner to create a fashionable and elegant classic style.
The color palette includes INF's classic dark hues, as well as the traditional red, green, and blue from the Taiwanese Qie Zhi bag, creating a unique impression that combines modernity with traditional style.
