Hello.
This is Nakayama from CASANOVA&CO.
The IRENISA 25FW / LIMITED STORE is currently open.
Thank you very much to all the customers who have visited us.
The weather in Okayama has finally started to feel like autumn.
Long sleeves feel nice.
This time, I’d like to enthusiastically explain the highlights, or rather, the appeal of IRENISA clothes, along with photos of them being worn.
Oh, this time I asked our new staff member to model the clothes, so I'd appreciate it if you could remember them for the future.
I'm itching to talk, so shall we get started right away?
First, the turtleneck knit that also appeared in last year's 24FW.

WOOL HIGH-NECK KINIT PULLOVER
color_ STONE GRAY,BORDEAUX
size _ 2,3
※BORDEAUX size 3 is sold out.
When I found out it would also appear in 25FW, I immediately suggested to Noguchi, by reflex, "Let's do this one."
This is largely because I personally wore it incredibly heavily during the 24FW season.
I really wore it an unbelievable amount.
Whether worn alone or as an inner layer, it's faultless; the single design point from IRENISA was actually quite striking.
The opening specification, like a diagonal slit or polo collar, goes up to the neck.
This angle is absolutely exquisite.
By having an opening towards the nape of the neck, the neckline appears beautiful as shown in the photo.
If this opening were centered, it wouldn't look like this.
You can really feel the intention, and it exudes elegance as a design.
The key is that it doesn't feel dowdy, yet it's not overly elegant either.
It doesn't bother you for daily use, but it still feels special.
That's why it's exquisite.
It's a masterpiece in my book.
The design on the back is also impeccable.
A single line created by a change in knit pattern along the spine.
IRENISA's knitwear also offers subtle playfulness.
What I realized after wearing it extensively during the 24FW season is that it's also very practical.
Turtleneck sweaters are useful as innerwear in the coming season, but because the head is larger than the neck, the neckline stretches every time you wear it, and if you continue to use it heavily, the neckline can get distorted.
However, with the open neck design, you can easily pull your head through by unbuttoning it.
It brilliantly avoids the factor that causes the neck to stretch.
Thanks to that, the neckline of mine this year fits perfectly.
I'll be relying on it again this year.
What's more, it's made of pre-shrunk, washable wool, so you can hand wash it!!
Here's what it looks like as an inner layer.
It adds an accent to the neckline and holds an excellent position as an inner layer that isn't too assertive.
A dependable piece.
It will become a highly valued item.
And, one of this season's power pieces, which also appeared in the previous photo.
A coat that exudes dignity.
IRENISA
DOUBLE-BREASTED CHESTER COAT
color _ GREEN BLACK
size _ 2
A Chester coat made entirely of mohair shag.
The dignity that emanates when you wear it couldn't be fully captured by the camera.
It's frustrating, I'll try harder with the photos.
Or rather, it just goes to show how amazing this Chester coat is.
As I said in the previous blog, this is a must-see for anyone looking for a coat.
It depends on what you're looking for in a coat, but I think it will resonate with those who appreciate the unique elegance of a coat.
A sense of substantiality derived from the material (though it's actually lighter to wear than it appears).
The mohair pile flows across the fabric surface, creating subtle shadows and imbuing depth and dignity.
This fabric, with such an expressive surface, is used in all visible parts except for the buttons, a clean and luxurious specification.
For this reason, the fabric's atmosphere is maximized, demonstrating how wonderful this mohair shag fabric truly is.
Beautiful...
IRENISA's beautiful pattern design and meticulous stitching complete the garment's appearance perfectly.
The aura of the clothes is immense.
It makes me groan with delight.
The precise, soft yet structured armhole of the sleeve attachment.
The sleeve attachment, which is slightly higher than the body with gathering, is a crucial part that supports the dignity of this coat.
The shoulder line stands beautifully, and the sleeves fall gracefully towards the ground.
While having a slight shape in the body, it appears voluminous, and the contrast between the sharpness of the sleeves and the richness of the body even evokes a sense of tranquility.
Although these clothes have a very special feel, that's precisely why I want you to wear them casually.
I feel that if you overdo it, you won't be able to fully utilize this sense of calm.
I believe that the Chester coat, which is now often seen in dress and formal settings, possesses both the special feeling of a dress garment and the richness and softness of everyday wear.
This piece truly embodies IRENISA's brand concept of "CHIC WITH SARCASM" (elegance with irony, irony hidden in chic).
However, the breadth of the IRENISA brand and the richness of its interpretations allow it to create yet another distinct elegance.
This is especially true for this one.
IRENISA
EPAULET STAND COLLAR HALF COAT
color _ MOCHA GREY
size _ 2,3
※Size 3 is sold out.
A half coat made of lamb wool and cashmere, with a beaver finish on the wool cashmere beaver fabric.
The previous Chester coat is a historical garment, and I get the impression that it's a piece that elevates an inherent elegance by adding IRENISA's unique sarcasm, creating a "new elegance."
The half coat, built upon the "new elegance" that has been cultivated, seems to be a piece of clothing that feels distinctly IRENISA, having been created in a completely new form by the designer of IRENISA.
Above all, it's a piece that beautifully showcases the "sculptural quality" that IRENISA excels at.
The arm's shape is particularly prominent.
A beautiful curve that gathers softly towards the cuff, with ample volume secured around the elbow.
The relaxed fit of the body is concentrated at the armpits, making the arms appear impressive.
The design not only allows for unrestricted arm movement, but also ensures that the arm's silhouette, which changes with movement, is beautifully rendered.
The sculptural quality that gives form to beauty, which is IRENISA's true strength, and
the result of reverse stitching, where no stitches are exposed on either the front or back of the garment, and all seams are hand-stitched.
While the beaver finish subdues the fabric's luster, the sheen that emerges from the depths of the shadows during movement, such as at the elbows, is absolutely drool-worthy.
When I took this photo, I was glad I changed cameras.
It properly captured this luster!! Thank you, SONY!!
The epaulet, which extends the arm fabric all the way to the neckline, creates a subtle classic feel, giving it a mature appearance.
It's a sophisticated half-coat.
This piece embodies elegance, stemming from the sculptural beauty of IRENISA's pattern techniques.
I really felt the brand's essence.
Next is the last item for this time.
Finally, a setup.
This is a combination of a jacket and pants that is more casual and relaxed, rather than the overly formal dressiness typical of a setup.
With the brand's elegance and artistry added, it results in a refined finish.
IRENISA
RELAXED SHOULDER JACKET
color _ DARK BROWN
size _ 2,3
※Size 2 is sold out.
BELTED TAPERED PANTS
color _ DARK BROWN
size _ 2,3
※Size 2 is sold out.
Jacket and pants made from high-density cotton twill fabric.
It has a matte texture and a slightly iridescent sheen.
The crispness typical of cotton is suppressed, resulting in a soft touch against the skin.
Therefore, it has a supple drape and doesn't feel overly casual.
I believe that by changing the innerwear to a shirt or a crewneck knit depending on the occasion, the range of scenes in which you can wear it will expand.
The jacket is designed to maintain the formality of a jacket while providing a relaxed fit without shoulder pads or interlining, thanks to the masterful patterning.
A pattern design I've never seen outside of IRENISA.
IRENISA's technique is packed into this shoulder area.
It's a highlight.
The pants are two-tuck tapered pants without creases.
Although hidden in the photo, a belt made of the same material is included.
The beautiful inseam line, as always, is created by the pattern, and with the supple, drapey fabric, it has a presence that lies somewhere between casual and formal.
I feel that it is precisely in this in-between space that IRENISA excels at creating elegance.
I believe that creating something new means creating something that never existed before, something that can newly enrich people, and something that moves them.
Innovation and challenging the untried are indeed new, but they are meaningless if they don't benefit people.
IRENISA seems to find its hints in the contrasts between "casual" and "formal," as mentioned earlier.
It's like shaping the outline of a beauty or fascination that doesn't yet have a name or can't be categorized.
Most of the fabrics used in IRENISA's clothing are original creations of the brand.
They must be something never seen before.
Not only that,
Because clothes are worn by people, they focus on form, design them to make people beautiful, discover the potential of the fabric, and incorporate it into the clothing design.
I believe IRENISA is a brand that creates new things through wisdom and thought, rather than just technical specifications.
It's like embodying new "beauty."
I think they are constantly discovering new things every season.
They genuinely address the fundamental aspects of a clothing brand.
Encountering the unknown always makes my heart pound.
IRENISA, the brand that shapes "the intangible."
That's why I became an IRENISA lover.
The side lines fall beautifully and smoothly even without creases.
It's hard to see from a distance, but the hem finish with exposed stitching indicates that these are not formal slacks but rather casual pants.
Combined with the fabric feel, this is a setup that we hope you'll use casually in your everyday life.
Although it may seem like a relaxed setup without shoulder pads or creases, the fabric's expression gives it an elegant presence.
This blog turned out to be very long due to the many photos, but thank you for reading this far.
When someone wears IRENISA's clothes, the form envisioned by the designer appears, and you can feel the meaning of the fabric used.
We have a rich lineup of IRENISA clothing available in-store, so if you're interested, please come and experience it with us.
