Issey Miyake was born in Hiroshima in 1938. After
studying graphics arts in Tokyo’s Tama Art University, he decided to
later study fashion design at the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la
Couture Parisienne.
In 1970 he opened up his own Miyake Design
Studio in Tokyo where he was able to experiment with various design
techniques. Through this studio, he has been able to develop natural
fabrics and designs, and has even designed costumes.
The Miyake
design sensibility revolves around change and movement. Displayed as
art, as they were in the Making Things exhibition at the Fondation
Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain in Paris last year, the clothes appear
precisely geometric and static. Once worn, though, they take on volume
and mobility, as if they are living sculptures. |
