Overview

Insonnia is a knitwear and jersey brand that began in Japan in 2010, when RIHO ICHINOSE established the “Insonnia Project.” With the concept of reimagining standard wear through jersey and knitwear, the brand offers garments combining high-quality yarns developed at fashion houses with delicate knitting techniques. In 2011, it launched “Insonnia Element,” a product line released irregularly, which later developed into “Insonnia Projects,” specializing in knitwear and cut-and-sew garments.

Insonnia PROJECTS is a spin-off label launched with a focus on knitwear and cut-and-sew, building on the knit production techniques and experience developed by Insonnia. While the parent brand reimagines standard wear as a whole through jersey and knitwear, this line focuses on everyday items such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, and knitwear, offering products that draw on domestic production and processing techniques. It also offers graphic products featuring music artists as their subject. In contrast to Insonnia Element’s occasional early product line, it is positioned as an ongoing label with a clearly defined product range that carries forward the brand’s current activities.

Insonnia Element was a product line established during Insonnia’s early period, with collections presented intermittently from Spring/Summer 2011. While the parent brand continued to propose standard wear in knitwear and jersey, Element was not a core line incorporated into the regular seasonal structure; instead, it served to present individual items and projects. Unlike Insonnia PROJECTS, which launched later, focuses on knitwear and cut-and-sew garments, and continues to release products, Element is positioned as a line representing the brand’s early, intermittent presentation format. The two shared the parent brand’s material and technical foundations, while differing in role: Element presented early product proposals, whereas PROJECTS is an ongoing product label.
