History
Issey Miyake founded his namesake studio in Tokyo in 1970 after studying in Paris and New York. He gained international recognition during the 1970s for introducing a non-Western approach to garment construction. The brand is historically significant for its "Pleats Please" line, which utilized heat-pressing techniques to create permanent folds. Miyake’s work bridged the gap between art and utility, influencing global design through his focus on material innovation and structural simplicity.Family
