Pleats Please Issey Miyake Coats & Jackets

Welcome to the joys of contemporary dressing with the Pleats Please Issey Miyake women's coats range at Selfridges. The eminently practical clothing line was launched in its own right by the Japanese mainline brand in 1993, and its hallmark is the innovative garment pleating technique used throughout the collection. 

The experimental attire uses a single thread and the fabrication results in a whole host of eye-catching pleats. There are many advantages to this pioneering plissé construction. The current iterations are light and wrinkle-proof – ideal for jet setters. You’ll find them so simple to neatly stack away in your suitcase. They’re also an excellent choice for those who are simply looking for functional, hassle-free styles. 

The garments exude a pared-back sensibility, and their simplicity makes them well-suited for easy layering to build up texture and warmth. Just add a ribbed knit or down coat from Issey Miyake for optimal cosiness. We adore the billowing cardigans that give a desirable airiness to everyday styling, and the oversized sleeves deliver a sense of drama too. There’s a scope of different thicknesses in the selection, and you’ll find a hint of high-fashion sportswear too, with pieces that feature a drawstring around the bottom.
