Issey Miyke

Founded in Tokyo in 1970, Issey Miyake redefined contemporary fashion through innovation, movement, and material research. After presenting in Paris beginning in 1973, the brand became known for its fusion of technology and craftsmanship, exploring how fabric could be engineered to enhance freedom and fluidity.

From the development of permanent pleating techniques in the Pleats Please line to experimental projects like A-POC (A Piece of Cloth), Issey Miyake approached clothing as both design and invention. Rooted in Japanese aesthetics yet global in vision, the house continues to emphasize lightness, practicality, and sculptural simplicity—creating garments that balance function, artistry, and forward-thinking construction.
