Issey Miyake’s work of the early 1980s was often influenced by the traditional work clothes worn by Japanese peasants, carpenters, and other laborers. Textiles with a homespun appearance were integral to this aesthetic. The frayed-edged trim selected for this ensemble highlights the designer’s innovative, asymmetrical design.
