About the Item

Issey Miyake is acclaimed for his awe-inspiring avant-garde designs that frequently make use of pleating and interesting plays with space and volume. While Issey Miyake continues to create incredible sculptural designs, the 1990s boasted some of his most iconic work. This gorgeous top and skirt ensemble is made from a crimson micro-pleated fabric that has been assembled along a spiral with an overall pencil silhouette. The top begins with a small V neckline at the front and back of the bodice and features incredible vertical pleating at the shoulders that creates drop sleeves. The long sleeves extend past the wrists while the pleats create a fascinating sculptural spiral around the upper arms that is mirrored throughout the design. From a thin waistband, the skirt gently hugs the hips and then begins its spiral descent to the ankles. The angle of the seaming paired with the pleats showcases a soft gleam that elevates this set’s futuristic aesthetic. Size estimate: XS/SML TOP: Bust: 30-36 inches stretched Length: 28 inches SKIRT: Waist: 24- 28 stretched Hips: 26 -34 inches Length: 44 inches Done all in red with a minimal design, this set looks like a dress when worn together but can be worn separately for endless styling options. A sensational addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this 1990s Issey Miyake set is an important piece of fashion history and is the perfect head-turning choice for a wedding, evening soiree, or special occasion. This archival Issey Miyake top and skirt set is unlined and has no closures. Due to the pleats and the nature of the fabric, it has a nice amount of stretch. In excellent condition, this set has been professionally eco-dry cleaned and pressed. High-quality pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself. - Follow us on Instagram @BASHAGOLD

Incredible Rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please Avant Garde Color Block Dress

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 Pleats Please line, this rare collector’s dress is done in a pleated fabric in shades of midnight blue, electric purple, red, magenta, cerulean, chartreuse, brown, sage, and neon green. The bright colors have a prismatic quality that makes the dress pop visually, giving the eye something new to appreciate from each angle while elevating this garment to a work of art. The dress begins with a high straight neckline and long sleeves that reach the wrists. The front of the dress is fitted throughout, creating an elegant sheath that falls to a maxi length several inches above the ankles. The body of the dress is done in midnight blue pleats with a section of purple at the bust and a section of neon green near the hem that draws the eye. Thigh-high slits at each side of the dress allow for greater ease of movement while introducing a welcome risqué element that helps balance the volume of material on display. Size: Small Measurements: Bust: 32 inches Waist: 30 inches Length: 50 inches An incredible panel at the back of the dress is made up of a vivid patchwork of color-blocked fabric, adding extra depth and gravitas to this Avant Garde masterpiece. The top of the panel can be folded over the front of the shoulders to create a curving, cocoon-like shawl, or folded together at the back like wings at rest. The panel spans the entire length of the dress and is slightly higher at the neck, adding volume and a delightful sculptural element to the otherwise columnar silhouette of the dress. An unforgettable addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please dress is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion, and is sure to turn heads for many years to come.
