Issey Miyake Homme Plissé

From pleated garments produced in such a way that they “remember” their pleats through washes to his iconic prism handbag, covered with geometric panels that fold and fluctuate like pixels in a computer game, there’s a thread that runs through all of Miyake’s creation that points to a true understanding of fashion design as the creation of a functional item with purpose that improves the quality of life of the wearer.
