Hello.
Today, we have an announcement.
IRENISA 26SS / LIMITED STORE
2026.03.14 (SAT) - 2026.03.18 (WED)
We will be holding it again this season.
The limited store with IRENISA.
This will be the 12th collection, so it will be the 12th limited store.
For the previous 11 limited stores with IRENISA held at our shop, we consistently focused on introducing the season's delivered items during those times.
I thought it would be better if Mr. Kobayashi and Mr. Abe were in the store so people could see various items, so that's how we've been doing it.
However, for the 26SS season, the 1st and 2nd deliveries have already been sold at our store, and most of them are sold out.
To everyone who has been looking forward to it, thank you very much as always, and at the same time, to everyone who was wondering, "Huh? What about IRENISA this season?" I apologize.
Starting this weekend, we will properly and thoroughly introduce everything, with a full swing.
The reason we didn't hold the event until mid-March this time was because we were waiting for the 3rd delivery.
So, why were we waiting for the 3rd delivery?
That's because there was a truly impressive piece of clothing in the 3rd delivery.
IRENISA has steadily grown in scale over the past 11 collections, evolving into a brand that reaches more people.
As someone who has been introducing IRENISA at CASANOVA&CO since its debut collection, I feel that its progress has been both steady and accelerating.
I believe that being known and sought after by many people means that the public image of "IRENISA is this kind of brand" becomes clearer and more defined.
And I imagine that public image is surely the beauty of the tailored jackets and trousers that the brand excels at most.
Of course, I completely agree with that, and when I talk with Mr. Kobayashi and Mr. Abe, I feel that there is a solid aesthetic in IRENISA's setup styles.
However, with all that said, what impressed me most this season was a garment made from a fabric I had never seen or heard of before.
It looks like multiple "pattern layers" are superimposed on the fabric.
The "pattern layers" create depth along the Z-axis, which shouldn't exist on a flat fabric.
... That's a bit hard to explain, isn't it? (laughs)
It's as if there's a depth you could dive into, or a profoundness that could draw you in, within the fabric.
You really have to see it with your own eyes.
Anyway, I felt like, "Can this kind of expression really be achieved on a flat surface...?"
It was less of a surprise and more of a terrifying feeling.
And the inspiration for it came from a textile that I had never seen or heard of, one that is said to be impossible to reproduce in modern times.
Mr. Kobayashi and Mr. Abe directly communicate with Japanese artisans at weaving mills and sewing factories every season, constantly conveying IRENISA's aesthetic to them, and continually engaging with materials and techniques that will shape the next IRENISA.
And it is thanks to their style that the aforementioned fabric was created.
Supporting this is the perspective of Mr. Kobayashi and Mr. Abe, who are also "craftsmen" as pattern makers, and the beautiful lines of the clothing itself.
I think it's a very alluring and IRENISA-like garment, and it's very exciting.
I will introduce it again.
