INF Embroidered Traditional "Ban Jia" Blazer
INF Embroidered Traditional "Ban Jia" Blazer
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 blazer deconstructs and reimagines the formal and casual cropped blazer, maintaining the sharp shoulder line and padding of a formal blazer while keeping the relaxed fit of a casual one. Through multiple iterations, the waist has been tailored for a more defined silhouette, flattering both men and women. The front features two practical pockets, and a back vent detail enhances mobility and prevents excessive creasing around the hips. This season, inspired by traditional Taiwanese "Ban Jia" tattoos, the blazer showcases electric embroidery and neon light concepts, evoking cultural nostalgia and making it one of the most striking pieces of the season.

"Our pieces this season are made to order with special tailoring. Please allow 14–20 business days for production — thank you for your understanding!"
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.
