In the early 1970s, European fashion reigned supreme—until Issey Miyake arrived from Japan and charted a new path. The designer, who passed away last week at the age of 84, founded his brand Miyake Design Studio where he experimented with wild shapes and colors—pioneering the nonconformist’s uniform. His clothing was about movement, change, and excitement and was designed with the wearer in mind. As we reflect on Issey Miyake’s pivotal role within the fashion industry, we remember how his work stands for the endless possibilities of style through the fabric, innovation, and the ceaseless quest for invention.
