Hello.
This is Noguchi from CASANOVA&CO.
The IRENISA LIMITED STORE finally starts tomorrow.
So far, I've only introduced items made from jacquard material, but I think there's quite a lineup of other items as well.
Probably around 60 pieces in total.
This time, we also have a variety of women's items, so I think women will also enjoy the collection.
Today, I managed to prepare photos of just a small selection, so please allow me to introduce them.
IRENISA
WIDE STRAIGHT JEANS
color _ BEIGE
size _ 2,3
...Even so, it's still the original jacquard & print. (lol)
It's a series I highly recommend.
IRENISA
WIDE STRAIGHT JEANS
color _ NAVY BROWN
size _ 2,3
This color is also available.
The NAVY BROWN has an overall dark tone.
It creates a completely different, captivating impression compared to BEIGE.
I think it's stylish to casually pair these pants with just a long-sleeve t-shirt.
As the item name "JEANS" suggests, it has a yoke at the waist, a classic jeans design.
The pockets are flap patch pockets, which also leans more towards a jeans interpretation rather than classic slacks, striking a balanced design.
I think that by intentionally applying a straightforward structure to the flamboyant fabric, it creates a unique allure.
It's a balance that truly says, "This is IRENISA."
The top of the fly is secured not with a button, but with an internal hook.
I think it looks neat because there are no visible parts on the outside.
In NAVY BROWN, the jacquard pattern is expressed with brown threads, so the pattern tends to recede compared to BEIGE.
Because of this, the pattern continuously changes its expression, appearing and disappearing depending on the angle of the light.
And just like the reversible skirt I introduced in a previous blog post, the reverse side of the fabric has a different look, so rolling up the hems would be a good idea.
The fabric is quite lightweight, so it's perfect for summer.
The appearance and background of the fabric are, of course, wonderful, but I think these pants have an excellent overall balance as a piece of clothing.
IRENISA
RELAXED SHOULDER JACKET
color _ BLACK
size _ 2,3
IRENISA
THREE TUCKS TAPERED PANTS
color _ BLACK
size _ 2,3
This is a summer-ready set-up.
In a good way, it might not look like light clothing in the photos, but in person, it's surprisingly light and cool.
Recently, it seems that "summer-wearable wool-like materials" are becoming more common in the market, but IRENISA has been focusing on such materials from an early stage, proposing tailored items and slacks that can be worn in the height of summer.
I think this RELAXED SHOULDER JACKET and THREE TUCKS TAPERED PANTS are the ultimate form of that.
A tumbler process is applied to a plain weave wool-nylon material to create a textured, crinkled feel in the fabric.
Although it is a sheer, thin material, this crinkle helps to mitigate its transparency.
The texture also prevents the fabric from clinging to the skin, so it feels airy and lifts away from the skin when the wind blows.
Furthermore, because it has been tumbled, it can be hand-washed at home.
There's nothing to complain about for a summer set-up.
It's perfect.
The jacket is the RELAXED SHOULDER JACKET, which IRENISA has been continuously offering.
Compared to the brand's standard tailored jackets, this one has no shoulder pads and a more generous shoulder width design, giving it a relaxed impression as its name suggests.
It strikes a delicate balance between allure and casualness, working well with both shirts and cutsews.
It's also wrinkle-resistant, making it suitable for wearing just a cutsew, hanging the jacket on your bag, or keeping it in your car, and putting it on only when needed.
The pants feature three tucks, making a comeback after a long time.
These are my favorite.
I think this is one of the most perfectly executed three-tuck designs to date.
The three tucks provide ample room around the waist, ensuring a comfortable "space between clothing and body" even in the height of summer.
Moreover, the fabric has good body, so the voluminous silhouette doesn't get crushed too much.
The fabric and shape complement each other beautifully.
I think both the jacket and pants are incredibly versatile, whether worn as a set-up or as individual pieces.
First, please come to the store and be amazed by their lightness and texture.
The store is now ready.
I haven't introduced them at all, but there are 6 variations of men's suit materials alone.
And plenty of women's items too.
Additionally, the jacquard & print series we introduced comes in various styles for both men and women.
What's more, there are also leather items that IRENISA started developing around last year.
I think it will be a substantial collection with rich content.
The designers, Mr. Kobayashi and Ms. Abe, will also be at the store until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow evening.
I wonder how many times they've been at the store now...
Every time there's a LIMITED STORE, we talk about this, but in the end, we never quite figure it out. (lol)
But Mr. Kobayashi and Ms. Abe have stood at CASANOVA&CO so many times that they remember the names, faces, and even the items purchased by everyone they've spoken to, and they make suggestions based on that.
I'm looking forward to similar interactions with everyone this time as well.
Whether you're a regular customer or visiting for the first time, I hope you enjoy your time at the store.
We sincerely look forward to your visit starting tomorrow.
