Tracing the trajectory from his early work in Paris in the 1970s to the global success of Pleats Please and A-POC, this book highlights the key moments that defined the career of Japanese designer Issey Miyake. One of the most technically innovative designers of the modern era, Miyake rejected rigid Western tailoring in favour of fluid construction, engineering textiles designed to move with the body, redefining the relationship between fabric and technology. Illustrated with runway photography, campaign imagery, studio documentation, and printed matter, this volume also highlights Miyake’s significant visual collaborations produced with photographers including Nobuyoshi Araki, Sarah Moon, and Albert Watson. This edition published by Éditions Assouline includes text in French.
