Label Text:Miyake’s signature pleats create texture and drama in this ensemble. These heat-set folds, literally melted into place, are only possible with the synthetic fibers and coatings that he blends with natural fibers. Since the Miyake Design Studio’s founding in 1970, Issey Miyake has partnered with textile designer Makiko Minagawa to experiment with innovative synthetics.
