The HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE AUTUMN WINTER 2022/23 collection A WORK OF ARC premiered online on Thursday, January 20.
This collection looks at a tent, as a structure consisting of fabric and a frame, and adapts elements of its construction for clothes-making.
The way it engages in making folds and creases like drawing arcs on a pleated canvas gives rise to a new exploration of three-dimensional forms.
By experimenting with the fundamentals of making a garment: the way to fold, sew, and pleat a piece of fabric, and studying the relationship between them, the collection develops original silhouettes that surround the body and evoke a presence of a sculpture so lively that it looks like it is about to move.
