Functional Pleated Garments

Miyake's Spring/Summer 2023 Collection Explores Movement

Homme Plissé Issey Miyake's Spring/Summer 2023 collection plays with shape and form to explore the freedom of movement. The collection features heavily pleated pieces in various eye-catching colors, including a rosy red, grassy green, sunny yellow, muted periwinkle, and more. The runway show expanded on this idea of movement by tapping multiple athletic models and acrobats from Chaillot Theatre National de la Danse to wear the new clothing at the event.

The collection experiments with hemming, length, splitting, and cutouts while maintaining Miyake’s signature pleated style. The lightweight casual wear is perfect for lounging around the house or completing errands and boasts wrinkle-resistant properties. Silhouettes include trench coats, shin-length pants, button-up shirts, and sleeveless tops. Interested parties can view the runway visuals or visit the Homme Plissé Issey Miyake website for more information.
