Asian Evening Dresses and Gowns

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 1999 Fall collection, this rare collector’s dress is also archival Issey, making it an even more exclusive find. Done in a metallic black pleated fabric that has a nice sheen, this sensational dress juxtaposes classic and fantastical design elements to deliver an iconic look that transcends fashion trends. The accordion pleated fabric offers a nice contrast of texture throughout while lending this sculptural masterpiece extra gravitas and a satisfying visual movement of its own. Size: Small Measurements: Bust: 30 -stretched to 36 inches Waist: 28 -34 inches Length: 50 inches at the longest point The dress begins with a narrow V neckline and long sleeves that reach the wrists in angular cuffs. A slit at each side of the neck allows the fabric at the neckline to fold open to create a wide revealing collar, allowing for versatile styling. The phenomenal midi-length skirt fans out from a drop waist to create a wide angular shape that is reminiscent of a spinning top before tapering inward to hug the knees, creating a fascinating Avant Garde silhouette. The back of the bodice mirrors the front of the dress, creating a pleasing symmetry that continues throughout and helps balance the dramatic shape of the skirt. An unforgettable addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this rare archival Issey Miyake dress is a collector’s dream and is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion.

This inflatable women’s suit by Issey Miyake is a twin of the 2-piece ensemble that walked the runway for the Fall 2000 Ready-to-Wear. The suit includes a fitted blazer with inflatable shoulder detail and a midi skirt with seven inflatable sections at the bottom. Designed to wear either way: inflated or deflated. An amazing example of the technical aspect of Issey Miyake's work, it will only increase in value as decades pass. Excellent condition, with no visible signs of wear; I doubt it has ever been worn. Also, all the inflatable sections are perfectly functional, and all the stoppers are in place. Tagged size 2 (blazer) / M (skirt), fits like a modern Small/Medium Fabric: - blazer 50...
