The 132 5 Issey Miyake collection is a mind-blowing contribution not only to fashion, but also to the whole concept of clothing. Pieces from the line begin as [simple 2-dimensional geometric shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take). The pieces then unfold into clothing in a similar way as [origami](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/editions-pliables).

Sufficed to say, the 132 5 Issey Miyake line is like no other out there. Though the novelty of this [expanding apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-uniform-collection) is lasting, the actual design behind the finished pieces is even more impressive.
