Color, for me, has too many stories wrapped around it. I like black, white, gray, and navy. Like a uniform.

Issey Miyake spring / summer 1998
Cocoon
In the late 80s, 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.
This eventually resulted in a new technique called garment pleating and in 1993’s 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. The fabric’s ‘memory’ holds the pleats and when the garments are liberated from their paper cocoon, they are ready-to wear.
