Issey Miyake japanese contemporary designer

Colletion - Pleats please

This collection was made with the intentiion to limit waste and excess in fashion. issy miyake created this garment to fold away compact on a hanger, still using beautiful shapes to create different look for the garment.

i like the way that the garment has a soft shape from the compact pleats yet it still makes a statement.
