Issey Miyake's IM MEN in-house line is launching its latest capsule collection with the new Convertible series. The series is full of garments that are designed with a single tone, with a selection of nine different colors. It is made using innovative textiles that allow the garments to transform into new functions.
It can change into a packable bag or transform into a crossbody. Notably, the wrinkle-fighting coat, the relaxed trousers, and the high-neck jacket are made using a partially plant-based polyester that has gone through a dye process to give it a yellow, Sage Green, or dark navy blue look. The jacket and the coat are both complete with velcro details, zippers, and snap buttons.
