At Tokyo’s iconic Sogetsu Kaikan in Akasaka, Korean designer Chisung Ihn marked IHNN’s 10th anniversary with a collection that reframed the ordinary through elegance, tension, and quiet invention. Titled “An Invitation to the Everyday”, the Spring Summer 2026 show was not about spectacle but about elevating the familiar, revealing beauty in the nuance of daily life.

Familiar silhouettes were revisited with controlled disruptions: mini dresses cut with plunging armholes and necklines, a sleeveless leather jacket, and a dual-zippered trench coat that reimagined the language of outerwear. Shirting was transformed into statements of balance and imbalance: striped shirt dresses with slashed overlays and high-neck cotton shirts split with sharp side slits, each piece rewriting symmetry with thoughtful precision.

Textile artistry deepened the narrative. A gathered dress painted with a sunset gradient blue dissolving into pink and navy captured the fleeting romance of twilight, while a denim-print organza ensemble brought air and lightness to tailored separates. Every fabric felt alive with atmosphere, an IHNN signature refined over a decade of design.

Accessories anchored the collection’s cross-cultural dialogue. Korean artist Kim Junsu’s floral-inspired creations and Atelier de LUMEN’s Boston bags added sculptural, tactile layers to the looks, underscoring Ihn’s embrace of Korean artistry and Japanese craftsmanship in equal measure.

For its tenth year, IHNN proposes not escape but intimacy: fashion that enters the rhythm of everyday life and renders it extraordinary. With SS26, Chisung Ihn demonstrates that refinement is not about excess but about the courage to transform the ordinary into poetry.
