Sleek silhouettes and floral fabrics take center stage in the Issey Miyake Spring/Summer 2016 campaign. The menswear advert features models Darwin Gray and Billy Vandendooren who pose against a stark and washed out backdrop.
Lensed by photographer Osma Harvilahti, the Issey Miyake Spring/Summer 2016 campaign celebrates the brand's iconic tailoring -- showcased with structured coats, shorts and traditional suiting that is all crafted using the same floral fabrics.
Issey Miyake looks to Asian traditions for this season's print inspiration and creates a green and white pattern that is both serene and modern. The botanical print consists of dramatic leaves and avian graphics and is the perfect accent to sleek white suiting. Styling for this advertorial is the work of Takafumi Kawasaki who dresses his cast of models in looks that embody an effortlessly cool point of view.
