About him. Miyake was born 22 April 1938 in Hiroshima, Japan.
He studied graphic design at the Tama Art University in Tokyo,
graduating in 1964. After graduation, he worked in Paris and New
York City. Returning to Tokyo in 1970, he founded the Miyake Design
Studio, a high-end producer of women's fashion.
Slide 4
In the late 1980s, he began to experiment with new methods of
pleating that would allow both flexibility of movement for the
wearer as well as ease of care and production in which the garments
are cut and sewn first, then sandwiched between layers of paper and
fed into a heat press, where they are pleated
Slide 5
The fabric's 'memory' holds the pleats and when the garments
are liberated from their paper cocoon, they are ready-to wear. He
did the costume for Ballett Frankfurt with pleats in a piece named
"the Loss of Small Detail" William Forsythe and also work on ballet
"Garden in the setting.

by Miyake himself, is based on the view of the moon behind the
Eiffel Tower from his Paris apartment.

THE ISSEY MIYAKE COLLECTION The ISSEY MIYAKE Collection is
founded in the philosophy of clothing made from a Piece of Cloth, a
concept which explores not only the relationship between the body
and clothing, but also the space that is born between them.
Slide 10
PLEATS PLEASE Issey Miyake and his design team have been
experimenting with and refining their pleating technique since
1988. The groundbreaking method - by which pleats are applied after
the fabric is cut and sewn - is a revolutionary departure from
traditional process.
Slide 11
A-POC A-POC is an acronym for A Piece of Cloth and refers too,
to the idea of epoch. It is a manufacturing method that uses
computer technology to create clothing from a single piece of
thread in a single process. Development began in 1997 as a project
led by Issey Miyake and engineering designer Dai Fujiwara.

me Issey Miyake/ CAULIFLOWER Lightweight, compact, convenient,
comfortable to wear and easy to care for designed for the pleasure
of everyday living. It uses multi- directional stretch pleats
combined with cutting- edge techniques and innovative
materials.
Slide 13
HaaT A threefold play on words: HaaT, meaning village market in
Sanskrit, symbolizing a diverse range of techniques, textiles and
aesthetics; the Heart which employs traditional crafts to make
contemporary clothing; and Haath, meaning hands in Sanskrit, which
conveys the subtle nuances that arise from the collaboration
between Japanese design and Indian handiwork.
Slide 14
132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE 132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE is a project, whose
first evolution was presented by Issey Miyake in August of 2010.
The concept grew from research and development by a group founded
in 2007 within the Miyake Design Studio, named the Reality Lab,
whose purpose, according to Miyake is to develop designs that
reflect and address the way people live today and explore ways of
making things that will renew the possibilities of Japanese
craftsmanship.
Slide 15
The impetus for 132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE was the discovery of
computer graphics applications that are capable of starting out
with a single plane to construct a three- dimensional model with
smoothly curving surfaces.
Slide 16
The numerals of the 132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE project name each have
a meaning. The number 1 refers to the fact that one piece of cloth
can become three- dimensional (3), and be refolded into its two-
dimensional (2) state again. The number 5 after the space signifies
the temporal dimension that comes into being after the clothing is
worn by people.
Slide 17
ISSEY MIYAKE not only combines the mathematics of folding,
techniques used in clothes-making and aesthetic sensibilities; but
also explores new possibilities for making things.He also takes
inspiration from different countries in his works. ISSEY MIYAKE not
