ISSEYMIYAKE

Since presenting its first collection in 1971, ISSEY MIYAKE has been designing and making clothing that explores the relationship — the ease and ma (the unfilled space) — between the wearer’s body and the fabric of the wear, which is founded upon the brand’s unwavering approach to the concept of a piece of cloth, thereby developing clothing that is universal and unbound by the Western vs. Eastern conventions of clothing design.
