History

Launched in 2000, me ISSEY MIYAKE emerged as a specialized evolution of Issey Miyake’s research into textile technology and pleating. It introduced the "Stretch Pleats" technique, which differs from the vertical pleats of the Pleats Please line. Historically, the brand signifies a shift toward democratized, utilitarian fashion that eliminates traditional sizing. Its cultural significance lies in the fusion of Japanese industrial design with wearable art, emphasizing clothing as a practical tool for modern life.
