# Pleats-accented Fashion Collection Issey Miyake Embraces Pleated Fashion for Spring/Summer 2024 By Kalin Ned | Published 2023-06-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pleated-fashion References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/issey-miyake-ss24/) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=566&v=wTYk3NgZdGw&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.highsnobiety.com%2F&embeds_referring_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.highsnobiety.com&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title) Pleated fashion is the focus of the luxe label [Issey Miyake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-and-crease-extended) as it "explores what's quintessential to the Issey Miyake brand, nearly one year since the designer's passing." Titled 'Everyday, One of a Kind, Now and Hereafter,' the striking capsule was showcased at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. The runway stunned guests with incredibly intricate and playful [pleated garments in various colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1) that evoke nature as inspiration. Some fashion experts noted that Issey Miyake's Spring/Summer 2024 capsule "wasn't revolutionary, nor was it dull." Rather, 'Everyday, One of a Kind, Now and Hereafter' struck a good balance between the two while revisiting its DNA. The plated fashion line by Issey Miyake featured meticulously crafted legwear, jackets, skirts, and shirts.
