Irenisa Spring/summer 2024 at Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo with entitled Subtle Fragments

Capture the ambiguity

Plants, Rock and Fruits teach me charm. We Feel the charm in the fuzzy Boundaries created by blending ambiguous colors and shapes. The way we see it is completely different depending the time of day, the light and even in other countries and regions. If we try capture in the words the emotion of the colors and shapes that we are just now seeing. The essence of it may easily fly away.

The memory grows more abstract, and like a color field painting. It grows fuzzy without focus and boundaries. We carefully scoop out the subtleties of the Dreaminess and add charm.

IRENISA BRAND AND CONCEPT

IRENISA starts with its 20/21FW collection. Inspired by sarcastic and paradoxical subtleties, as it betrays traditional ideas behind clothing with a playfulness unbound by traditional concepts. New garments combining craftsmanship with three-dimensional design while remaining familiar to the basics, thus incorporating the opportunity of transforming the appearance of what is ordinary. The underlying proposal being clothes that can last a long time although being somewhat unfinished in their completion.

IRENISA DESIGNERS

Before establishing IRENISA in 2020 as a Tokyo-based design duo, Yu Kobayashi served as an experienced patternmaker at Yohji Yamamoto while Yuji Abe worked on planning, design, and production development for Support Surface.
