Transformable Flap Wide-Leg Trousers with Zipper
Transformable Flap Wide-Leg Trousers with Zipper
The pattern of this trouser is the final outcome of deforming and reshaping a Japanese wide shorts. The shape of the trousers are established after many experiments and continuous refitting, so that the wearer can style it in the best ratio and fit. With our careful crafting of the trousers pattern and cutting, it looks more three-dimensional and stylish.
The cutting is based on INF’s signature Japanese style wide shorts. A flexible flap with drawstring and functional pocket is extended from the leg. The zipper on the flap is not only another detail to the design, but also it can be used with to flap to create different styles, such as fixing the drawstring to the pants can add a pant-skirt like layers to the garment, or showing the pleats and make it asymmetrical when the flap falls freely.
This garment can be matched with INF’s signature deconstruction shirts to increase layering, or it can be styled with more casual fitting short-sleeved tops in this collection to show the cutting of the pants.

The inspiration of the 2022 Spring/Summer collection comes from the concept of translation and transformation, “translate (transform) 2D to 3D, translate (transform) people to soul, translate (transform) hate to love.” We learn to see things from different perspectives through translation and transformation, and the essence of an event is not that absolute. We have also obtained some unexpected gains in the process of translation and transformation, which is different from a little happiness in life, it is learning to see the world with a more macro and open-minded perspective.
Details of the collection was inspired by elements such as early local beliefs and local monsters in Taiwan, and collaborating with the most famous domestic animation ”Grand Mother & Her Ghost” — which will be re-released in the theater this December —- and characters from the movie such as Kuro (the cat), Xiaobian (the snake), Apple (the soul of a little girl holding a doll) are used as inspiration and elements in the collection. By paying tribute to the film editing technology “Montage”, characters are combined with handwritten brushstrokes, which can be seen in the local folk beliefs in Taiwan, in a collage method to create a full and colorful print.
In addition to showing local beliefs and culture and early customs in Taiwan through fashion, this season also uses the painting technique of "Trompe L'oeil", which turns 2D into 3D. We constantly observe the changes in light and shadow of daily fashion, and transform them into different shades of color blocks to imitate the light and shadow and details in the characters of “Grand Mother & Her Ghost”, and apply them to create a print on the garment, make you look like a come-to-life animation character when you put on the whole outfit.
The plane (2D) looks like a three-dimensional (3D), which echoes the theme of this season: Translate. By translating and flipping the charm in 2.5D between the plane and the three-dimensional, a modern print which is full of personality and a little cuteness is created. INF is constantly "taking culture as the foundation and fashion as the carrier", and reinterprets the diverse cultures and stories of Taiwan's ancient and modern times through the production of clothing collections.
