ENFÖLD presented its 2027 Spring and Summer collection at Rakuten Fashion Week.
Collection Theme: "Wrapping Structure"
Architecture creates a single structure out of three overlapping elements: the function contained within, the framework, and the outer skin. This season, ENFÖLD translates that idea into clothing.
Rather than treating "wrapping" as simply covering the body, the collection reimagines it as building a new structure around the body, developing ENFÖLD's signature three-dimensional forms.
The inspiration came not only from finished buildings but from the process of construction itself and the structures that lie within it.
Alongside completed architecture, the collection also looks at what is normally hidden from view once a building is finished: the framework and substrate concealed behind walls, piping, insulation, and blueprints. By deliberately bringing these usually hidden elements to the surface and layering different materials and layers, the collection expresses them as a new structure for clothing.
Architects who inspired the collection include Frank Lloyd Wright and Luis Barragán.
Graphic Drawing
This season, graphic designer 山口崇太 created drawings imagining architectural structures for the collection.
Drawings inspired by the structure and space of architecture were incorporated as one of the elements shaping the collection's world view.
Collaboration with goyemon
ENFÖLD also presented setta, traditional Japanese sandals, created in collaboration with footwear brand goyemon.
goyemon's approach of modernizing the traditional setta sandal was layered with ENFÖLD's concept of "reexamining structure" for the season, resulting in a design that complements ENFÖLD's elegant style.
Makeup by NARS
Makeup, created with the cooperation of NARS, expressed the collection's vision for the season.
Bold use of color highlighted the structure and form of the garments while adding a quiet tension to the collection as a whole.
About ENFÖLD
Brand Concept: "Hidden Beauty"
Clothes that let the person wearing them feel the height of luxury, rather than clothes worn to impress others.
ENFÖLD believes that true beauty lies in what is hidden.
The brand values the comfort felt only by the wearer and silhouettes that intentionally conceal the body's contours, expressing feminine beauty through these ideas.
