Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake is known for his unique designs in clothing, fragrances and more. His fashion sense is technologically inspired, leading to innovative creations unlike any other.
Born in Hiroshima, Japan, in 1938, Issey Miyake was only 7 years old when the devastating atomic bomb fell and miraculously survived. He went on to study in Tokyo, at the Tama Art University. For a time he worked in Paris and New York, before returning to Tokyo and opening Miyake Design Studio in 1970. The studio designed high end women's clothing and fashion.
Miyake developed a new way of pleating skirts, making production easier and faster and allowing more movement for the wearer. The technique, called Pleats Please, introduced in 1993, involved the clothing being cut and sewn, then pleated by a heat press. The fabric is then able to hold the pleats through "memory." The process was used in Miyake's costume design for Ballett Frankfurt.
Along with experimenting with new design techniques, Miyake is known for the ceramic and porcelain buttons that adorn many of his styles and are frequently featured in collections.Issey Miyake fragrances for menperfume shopping
