Issey Miyake

Blurring the boundaries between clothing, science and art, Japanese designer Issey Miyake is an innovator at his core. After studying fashion under Hubert de Givenchy in the 1960s, the young creative broke free from tradition to found his eponymous Maison – a place where contemporary techniques inform ultra-futuristic styles.

Explore our selection of Issey Miyake fashion and you'll discover innately inventive pieces. For day-to-day, woven jumpers are a versatile choice. Pair them with tailored trousers for the nine to five, then add in playful separates at the weekend. Got a special celebration coming up? A statement-making dress will do the trick – unexpected colour combinations and asymmetric cuts bring levity to the most formal of events. Whatever the occasion, unisex outerwear with offbeat proportions is a final sartorial flourish that's ever-so avant-garde.

The brand's innovative pleating technique is at the heart of its oeuvre. By applying heat to folds in fabric, garments can be machine-washed and rolled up without losing their bounce. Why not dip your toe in the pleated pool with an origami-inspired Issey Miyake top? Choose a matching skirt for a head-to-toe outfit that's a joy to wear as well as look at, or mix and match for an eclectic style.
