Revolutionary Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake, famed for his fabric innovation and bestselling perfumes, has died in a Tokyo hospital at age 84. Per Miyake’s wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial service.⁠ ⁠ Miyake was one of the first Japanese designers to show in Paris. He was part of a wave of designers that put Japan on the fashion map in the 1970s, and was the founder of the Miyake Design Studio and the Issey Miyake Group.⁠ ⁠ Known for his pleating technique, a groundbreaking method by which pleats are applied after the fabric is cut and sewn, the designer’s reinvention marked a revolutionary departure from traditional process.⁠ ⁠ As well as his impact on fashion, Miyake was vehemently pro-peace and a vocal opposer to nuclear power.⁠ ⁠ May he Rest in Peace and his legacy live on. 🕊
