#RestInPleatsPlease #isseymiyaki blessings as you enter the next dimension. My sketchy mid 90s memories being fitted by you. I was about to start my 2nd year design school but got a contract in Japan instead, never thinking I would meet a trilogy Issey, Rei Kawakubo and protege Junya Watanabe. Walking your show was one of my highlights; rocking up early morning...one assistant brought me 2 packets of Marlborough Lights (standard) another a black coffee and a sushi cone and another started massaging my shoulders and face ready for hair and make up. No photos – no one took backstage pics; as if! We were too busy listening to our sony discmans gossiping about the night before and smoking darts. It was the 90s we got lost in our travels and experiences...they stay forever fantastic and faded etched in mind. "My fascination has been the space between cloth and the body, and using a two-dimensional element to clothe a three-dimensional form.' Issey Miyaki Irving Penn's 1994 campaign of the time
