There is more to Issey Miyake’s pleats than meets the eye
NOT MANY brands out there are as diversified as ISSEY MIYAKE. the famed Japanese-based brand has 12 diffusion lines that stretch out beyond the world of fashion.
While brands like marc Jacobs and Burberry have had to streamline their portfolios, each of Issey Miyake’s lines are target specific. Looking for avant garde clothing made from just a piece of cloth? Seek out 132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE. Interested in the iconic foldable bags made with triangular chips? they can be found under the BAO BAO ISSEY MIYAKE moniker.
With HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE, the premise is equally as straightforward. Just as the name suggests, the line focuses entirely on pleated fabrics that are crafted in Issey miyake’s patented garment-pleating process as well as the more commonly used method of pleating fabrics before sewing them together.
