| Book Description | In 1983, Japanese designer Issey Miyake told The New Yorker that he aspired "to forge ahead, to break the mold." With the boundary-defying fashion lines that followed, he not only broke molds, but recast clothing altogether. With a unique fusion of poetry and practicality, his creations blur the boundaries between tradition, modern technology, and everyday function.This definitive history of Miyake's clothes from 1960 to 2022 offers expert insight into the designer's vision and daring. Initiated and conceived by Midori Kitamura, the book looks at the texture-driven originality of Miyake's materials and techniques from the very earliest days of his career, before he had even established the Miyake Design Studio. Drawing on nearly 50 years of collaborative work with Miyake, Kitamura creates an encyclopedic reference of his material and technical innovations through the clothes based on A Piece of Cloth concept, Body Series of the 1980s, Miyake Pleats series, and such practical, everyday designs as Pleats Please pieces.Stunning photographs capture his clothes in their particular quotidian originality. In her far-reaching essay, meanwhile, leading cultural figure Kazuko Koike offers both a complete chronology of Miyake's work, and an unprecedented personal profile, looking at the ambition and inspirations that have driven his repertoire from tender teenage years. A must-have for designers, students, and fashion devotees, this is a timeless tribute to one of the most innovative makers of our age. |
| About the Author | El renombrado diseñador de moda Issey Miyake estudió diseño gráfico en la Tama Art University de Tokio, graduándose en 1964. En 1970, fundó en Tokio el Miyake Design Studio. A fines de los años 1980, comenzó a experimentar con nuevos métodos de plisado que permitieran flexibilidad de movimientos al usuario, así como unos cuidados y una producción sencillos. Esto resultó eventualmente en una nueva técnica llamada plisado de prendas, y en 1993 fue lanzada la línea Pleats Please. Hizo el vestuario con plisados del Ballett Frankfurt para una pieza de William Forsythe titulada The Loss of Small Detail y también trabajó en el ballet Garden in the Setting. En 1994 y 1999, Miyake delegó el diseño de las colecciones para hombre y mujer, respectivamente, a su asociado Naoki Takizawa, de modo de poder volver a investigar a tiempo completo. En 2007, Naoki Takizawa inauguró su propia marca, respaldada por el Issey Miyake Group, y fue sustituido por Dai Fujiwara como director creativo de la casa Issey Miyake.Nacida en Tokio, Midori Kitamura es presidenta del Miyake Design Studio. A partir de 1976 ha trabajado bajo Issey Miyake en colecciones, exposiciones y publicaciones como encargada de prensa. También gestiona desarrollos, incluida la dirección creativa de productos como perfumes y relojes. Kitamura fue directora de la exposición de Bulls Eye Special 2008 en 21_21 Design Sight junto con Kazumi Oguro y Katsuhiko Hibino y es presidenta de 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Inc. desde 2009. |
