Issey Miyake 1938
Issey Miyake was born in 1938 in Hiroshima, Japan. After studying graphic design at Tama Art University in Tokyo, he moved to Paris to study fashion and work with some of the biggest names in the industry. His time in Paris shaped his unique perspective on fashion, combining Western influences with Japanese traditions. In 1970, he founded Miyake Design Studio and began exploring new materials and techniques, leading to his signature style that often involves pleated fabrics and innovative textiles.
Fashion Combined with Design
Issey Miyake's design is characterized by a harmony between tradition and innovation. His collections include everything from clothing to accessories, and he is particularly known for his pleated garments, first introduced in the 1980s. These garments are not only visually appealing but also practical, with a flexible fit that makes them comfortable and easy to wear. Miyake's work in textile design has changed the way we view fashion and textiles, and his influence extends far beyond the fashion world. In addition to designing clothes and accessories, he has created unique Japanese design lighting for modern homes.
