Issey Miyake

Japanese designer Issey Miyake got his start in fashion at couture studios in Paris and established the Miyake Design Studio in 1970, where he could experiment with his own designs. His first ready-to-wear collection debuted in New York a year later, giving Miyake the introduction he needed to revolutionize fashion for both men and women. Highly inspired by technology and architectural shapes, Issey Miyake’s collections consist of classic designs augmented with unique textures, shapes, and details. The women’s wear line, available at Bergdorf Goodman, is simultaneously androgynous and feminine for women who want sophisticated, interesting alternatives to traditional workwear and outerwear.
