IM MEN

IM MEN is a menswear line by Issey Miyake focused on functional, everyday clothing. The aesthetic emphasizes geometric construction and minimalist silhouettes. It represents a subculture of utilitarian design, prioritizing material research and sustainability through the use of recycled fabrics and practical garment structures.

History

Launched in 2021 by Issey Miyake Inc., IM MEN succeeded the discontinued Issey Miyake Men line. It originated from the research conducted by the 132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE team, focusing on the relationship between flat patterns and three-dimensional forms. The brand signifies a shift in the company’s history toward permanent, functional design over seasonal fashion cycles. It integrates recycled polyester and innovative folding techniques to address contemporary environmental and lifestyle requirements.
