Issey Miyake Clothing

Japanese, 1938-2022

From the prismatic Pleats Please collection to the modular, three-dimensional garments crafted from recycled plastic bottles in his Reality Lab, the captivating fashions by Japanese designer Issey Miyake are all about movement.

Born in Hiroshima, Miyake studied graphic design at Tama Art University in Tokyo before relocating to Paris in 1965, where he studied couture and cut his teeth working for Guy Laroche and Hubert de Givenchy. In 1969, he moved to New York, where he worked for Geoffrey Beene. He returned to Tokyo in 1970 to found his first solo venture, the Miyake Design Studio. It wasn’t until the 1990s, though, that the designer had his breakthrough moment with experimentations in pleating. Some of his earliest explorations were for choreographer William Forsythe’s Frankfurt Ballet Company, with the 1991 performance of The Loss of Small Detail featuring costumes Miyake designed with pleats that complemented and transformed the movement of the dancers.

Though long a staple in couture — from delicate women’s skirts to men’s suit pants — pleats took on new life in Miyake’s hands. By using a heat press to cure his fabrics after his garments are stitched, Miyake was able to maintain the accordion structure of the pleat, turning a series of folds into sculptural, often futuristic forms unbound by the shape of the human body. In 1993, Miyake debuted “garment pleating” in his Pleats Please line, in which the clothes are constructed at a size that is larger than what is intended for the finished product. The pleats are then created — a process that involves folding and ironing and is separate from the joining of seams — and individual pieces are subsequently hand-fed into a heat press. The pleats are permanent and the garments can be worn and washed without losing their shape.

Miyake’s pleats run the gamut in scale, which enabled him to evoke dramatic, sharp silhouettes and flowy movements in equal measure. In essence, he created an entirely new material whose iterations are infinite — a feat of technology as much as fashion.

Other innovations include Miyake’s 1997 Just Before collection, which introduced a series of tube-knit dresses that could be cut as desired, reducing both work and resources. His Reality Lab now investigates new materials, such as a fully recycled polyester. Miyake’s prowess, in fact, captured another iconic figure in the tech world: Steve Jobs, for whom the designer made hundreds of identical black turtlenecks, the late Apple founder’s sartorial signature.

Issey Miyake Fête Silver Grey Pleats Midi Dress, Spring 2008
By Issey Miyake
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Futuristic designer Issey Miyake has mastered the technique of creating sculptural works of art in cloth. His innovative pattern cutting and signature use of micro pleating give his garments a unique form. As one of the earliest designers to take on this style of fashion, Miyake is held in high regard as a pioneer of these creative, out-of-this-world fashions. From the Issey Miyake Spring 2008 collection, this beautiful Avant Garde dress is done in a silver-grey pleated fabric. The dress presents a playful and sophisticated aesthetic throughout as the fabric is arranged in tiers of vertical fin-like folds that extend from the bust to the asymmetric hem of the skirt, creating sinuous columns that give this dress a unique visual movement of its own. The horizontal seams of the tiers are fitted with elastic throughout, providing extra stretch while highlighting the fascinating sculptural qualities of this dress. The fitted dress begins with a simple gathered neckline and incredible angular sleeves that fan outward from the shoulders in pleated arcs. The elegant sleeves hug the upper arms like a wrap or a shawl, allowing the horizontal pleats to create an unbroken line from shoulder to shoulder. Small openings beneath each arm allow for greater ease of movement while lending this dress a unique risqué element that is best appreciated when viewed from the side. Measurements: Size estimate: XS/SML Bust: 30 unstretched can stretch up to 36 inches Waist: 28 -32 inches Hips: Full Length: 43 inches The dress culminates in a magnificent bell-shaped skirt with a curving hem that falls in a spiraling asymmetric flounce below the knee at one side of the dress, adding a satisfying note of drama that balances the theatrical shoulders. A head-turning selection from the Issey Miyake Fête line, this incredible dress is meant for the spotlight and is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion.

    Yes, Issey Miyake is a luxury brand. The Japanese fashion label has become famous for using innovative, fine materials, such as fabric that folds like origami, and for using technology to create unique, inventive pieces. For example, the late designer and founder Issey Miyake introduced a series of tube-knit dresses that could be cut as desired in 1997, and his Reality Lab now investigates new materials, such as fully recycled polyester.

    What Issey Miyake pleats are called is Please Pleats. Though long a staple in couture — from delicate women’s skirts to men’s suit pants — pleats took on new life in Miyake’s hands. By using a heat press to cure his fabrics after his garments were stitched, Miyake was able to maintain the accordion structure of the pleat, turning a series of folds into sculptural, often futuristic forms unbound by the shape of the human body. In 1993, Miyake debuted “garment pleating” in his Pleats Please line, in which the clothes are constructed at a size larger than what is intended for the finished product. The pleats are then created — a process that involves folding and ironing and is separate from the joining of seams — and individual pieces are subsequently hand-fed into a heat press. The pleats are permanent, and the garments can be worn and washed without losing their shape. Miyake’s pleats run the gamut in scale, which enabled him to conjure dramatic, sharp silhouettes and flowy movements in equal measure. In essence, he created an entirely new material with infinite iterations — a feat of technology as much as fashion. Explore a range of Issey Miyake apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.

    To tell if an Issey Miyake bag is real, first look at the studs inside. Authentic bags will feature shiny studs, while replicas often have matte studs. On one stud, you will typically find a clear Issey Miyake logo tag. By comparing this tag to images of authentic labels shared on trusted online resources, you can determine if any discrepancies may indicate your bag is not real. Next, examine the individual geometric pieces that make up the bag. On a genuine Issey Mikaye, these pieces will be of uniform size and shape. Inconsistencies are usually the sign of a counterfeit. If you're still unsure about your bag's authenticity, a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert can be of assistance.
