Issey Miyake

< < Back : : : Next > >

As fashion focused on the runway spectacle and not the clothing, innovative Asian designer Issey Miyake applied both art and technology to his lines propelling himself to status as one of the most significant clothing designers of today.

His work with Pleats Please and A-POC (A Piece of Cloth) brought the focus back to comfortable, functional and still beautiful. His shows have been compared to an art exhibition rather than the "rock show" put on by his contemporaries. And, his creations have been called "the most innovative explorations of fabric, texture and the human body."
