History
Issey Miyake introduced the line in 1993 following years of textile research. Unlike traditional methods, these garments are sewn two-and-a-half times larger than the final size before being heat-pressed between layers of paper. This innovation established a new category of industrial clothing that resists wrinkling and requires no dry cleaning. The brand remains a significant example of Japanese design's influence on global fashion through its fusion of technology and daily utility.
