3. About him….
Miyake was born 22 April 1938 in Hiroshima, Japan. He studied graphic design at the Tama Art University in Tokyo, graduating in After graduation, he worked in Paris and New York City. Returning to Tokyo in 1970, he founded the Miyake Design Studio, a high-end producer of women's fashion.

4. In the late 1980s, he began to experiment with new methods of pleating that would allow both flexibility of movement for the wearer as well as ease of care and production in which the garments are cut and sewn first, then sandwiched between layers of paper and fed into a heat press, where they are pleated

5. The fabric's 'memory' holds the pleats and when the garments are liberated from their paper cocoon, they are ready-to wear. He did the costume for Ballett Frankfurt with pleats in a piece named "the Loss of Small Detail" William Forsythe and also work on ballet "Garden in the setting”.

8. HIS FRAGNANCES…
His first fragrance, the light aquatic-floral L'eau d'Issey for women, was launched in 1992.
The bottle, designed by Miyake himself, is based on the view of the moon behind the Eiffel Tower from his Paris apartment.

9. THE ISSEY MIYAKE COLLECTION…
The ISSEY MIYAKE Collection is founded in the philosophy of clothing made from “a Piece of Cloth,” a concept which explores not only the relationship between the body and clothing, but also the space that is born between them.

10. PLEATS PLEASE…
Issey Miyake and his design team have been experimenting with and refining their pleating technique since The groundbreaking method - by which pleats are applied after the fabric is cut and sewn - is a revolutionary departure from traditional process.

11. A-POC
“A-POC” is an acronym for “A Piece of Cloth” and refers too, to the idea of “epoch.” It is a manufacturing method that uses computer technology to create clothing from a single piece of thread in a single process. Development began in 1997 as a project led by Issey Miyake and engineering designer Dai Fujiwara.

12. me Issey Miyake/ CAULIFLOWER
Lightweight, compact, convenient, comfortable to wear and easy to care for； designed for the pleasure of everyday living. It uses multi- directional stretch pleats combined with cutting- edge techniques and innovative materials.

13. HaaT
A threefold play on words: ‘HaaT,’ meaning ‘village market’ in Sanskrit, symbolizing a diverse range of techniques, textiles and aesthetics; the ‘Heart’ which employs traditional crafts to make contemporary clothing; and ‘Haath,’ meaning hands in Sanskrit, which conveys the subtle nuances that arise from the collaboration between Japanese design and Indian handiwork.

14. ISSEY MIYAKE
ISSEY MIYAKE is a project, whose first evolution was presented by Issey Miyake in August of The concept grew from research and development by a group founded in within the Miyake Design Studio, named the “Reality Lab”, whose purpose, according to Miyake is to develop “designs that reflect and address the way people live today” and explore ways of making things that will renew “the possibilities of Japanese craftsmanship”.

15. The impetus for ISSEY MIYAKE was the discovery of computer graphics applications that are capable of starting out with a single plane to construct a three- dimensional model with smoothly curving surfaces.

16. The numerals of the “ ISSEY MIYAKE” project name each have a meaning. The number “1” refers to the fact that one piece of cloth can become three- dimensional (“3”), and be refolded into its two- dimensional (“2”) state again. The number “5” after the space signifies the temporal dimension that comes into being after the clothing is worn by people.

17. ISSEY MIYAKE not only combines the mathematics of folding, techniques used in clothes-making and aesthetic sensibilities; but also explores new possibilities for making things.He also takes inspiration from different countries in his works.

18. HIS WATCHES…
The Watch project has been evolving since 2001, pairing Seiko Instruments Inc. with the creative direction of the Miyake Design Studio.
The collaborative efforts of the trios comprised of designer, Seiko and the Miyake Design Studio continue to result in beautiful, functional designs, each of which is distinct and affordable.

19. THE LIGHTING PRODUCTS…
In the development process of the ISSEY MIYAKE project, attempts to explore design from a broader viewpoint – not just limited to clothing – evolved into the IN-EI ISSEY MIYAKE lighting products.

20. BAO BAO
