Since designer Issey Miyake presented his first collection in 1971, ISSEY MIYAKE has been designing and making clothing that explores the relationshipÇöthe ease andáámaáá(the unfilled space)Çöbetween the wearerÇÖs body and the fabric of the wear, which is founded upon the brandÇÖs unwavering approach to the concept of "áa piece of clothá" , thereby developing clothing that is universal and unbound by the Western vs. Eastern conventions of clothing design. Today, the brand continues to engage in research that begins with developing yarn from which original fabrics are created. Since the spring summer 2020 season, the brand is directed by designer Satoshi Kondo, in pursuit of iterations of an aesthetic that relates the wearerÇÖs body to the wear, for the richness that appeals to peopleÇÖs senses and everyday life.
