Born in Hiroshima in 1938, Issey Miyake’s life story and extensive body of work transcend the boundaries of the fashion genre. Though as a boy he dreamed of becoming a dancer, his course of study led him to pursue graphic design, and only later, fashion. From the outset, his creations prioritized freedom of movement and the ever-changing needs of contemporary life. Today, the label honors the founder’s legacy as it continues to embrace sculptural silhouettes, original cuts, and intricate textures. Traditional Japanese craftsmanship and attention to detail are combined with technological innovation in fabrics and manufacturing techniques to create timeless pieces that elevate personal styling to a true form of art.
