Barneys New York Unveils Its Second Collaboration with IRENISA
As part of its ongoing project,
'BARNEYS NEW YORK by', Barneys Japan is thrilled to announce the launch of a new collection in partnership with
IRENISA. Set to hit the shelves on
September 25, 2026, this collaboration promises to merge distinguished craftsmanship with a unique design philosophy, offering fashionable pieces that resonate with timeless beauty.
The Essence of 'BARNEYS NEW YORK by'
The
'BARNEYS NEW YORK by' project aims to embody the brand's motto
“Select, Don’t Settle,” by collaborating with innovative designers to create valuable collections that challenge the status quo. This project goes beyond merely offering limited items; it combines the creative visions of various brands with Barneys New York's editorial insights, establishing new standards in fashion.
This second installment in the series focuses explicitly on women's wear, bringing together the unique aesthetics of two distinct brands:
KANAKO SAKAI and
IRENISA. By valuing individuality, each brand’s identity is respectfully integrated with Barneys' perspective, resulting in a collection that appeals to both trendsetters and those who appreciate timeless design.
Spotlight on IRENISA
Founded in 2020 by
Yuto Kobayashi and
Yuuji Abe, IRENISA aims to explore the boundary between clothing and the human form through its principle of creating
“spaces”. Its designs are founded on tailoring, blending structured silhouettes with innovative patterns that redefine the concept of enduring fashion. By asking crucial questions like what truly constitutes long-lasting clothing and the meaning of
“unfinished perfection,” IRENISA challenges current trends to propose garments that stand the test of time.
The collaboration with Barneys aims to produce everyday clothing that embraces universal design principles while being aesthetically pleasing and deeply functional. Expect beautifully crafted items that showcase IRENISA's focus on space between body and fabric, high-quality materials, and intricately planned silhouettes, all designed to maintain a standard that remains relevant across seasons and trends.

The visual presentation for this collection has been crafted by Barneys New York’s digital media team,

“time enriches the value of spaces and clothing.” In this narrative, the aesthetics range from architectural forms, furniture, to natural light, demonstrating how these elements contribute to an enlivened atmosphere that complements the refined yet subtle elegance of IRENISA’s designs. The focus on the interplay between clothing, the body, and the surrounding space highlights the deepening value of fashion over time.
