HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE • Spring/Summer 2024

Presented on Thursday, June 22 at Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE Spring/Summer 2024 Collection, Everyday, One of a Kind, Now and Hereafter, builds upon a reflection of the brand’s original design and making, derived from the technology of garment pleating.

 

The collection engages in a process of refinement that explores what is quintessential to the brand. What has become apparent, as a result, is an array of new garments in silhouettes of uncomplicated designs in a range of fresh colors. Made possible by the brand’s ingenuity and technologies, a collection of garments designed and made as products for everyday life conveys the philosophy of HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE.

 

 

The show begins with a large roll of pleated paper unrolling across the museum gallery space. Once the garments inside the pleated roll are revealed, the design team appears on stage and dresses the models. By incorporating part of the garment pleating process into the scenography, the show demonstrates the potential of the very technology.
