It seems that I haven’t paid attention to the Issey Miyake brand for a long time. Looking back at its recent series of designs, there is still a lot worth paying attention to, especially the women’s wear section where Yoshiyuki Miyamae is the creative director. As for clothing design, Yoshiyuki Miyamae is definitely not a commercial design that follows the trend. He always maintains the style and characteristics of the brand, rooted in Japanese culture. He is good at using various low-key fabrics to transform and create various texture effects to form a unique three-dimensional effect.
Last season’s Japanese lantern-style pleats were impressive. This season there are still some similar themes. They are also pleats, but this time the pleats are more delicate. They are not just circular, but more three-dimensional triangles and squares. , similar applications can also be seen in avant-garde home design and architectural design. When used in clothing, it will also remind people of the interoperability with architectural design. Such a unique effect comes from the brands original 3-D steam expansion technology.
3-D steam stretching technology refers to pouring steam into special fabrics that have been wrinkled in advance. The fabric will expand into a three-dimensional 3-D silhouette and appear as an uneven grid like a waffle. In fact, I have seen similar creativity in the works of students from some fashion schools, but it is relatively simple and rough, and it is more of an illusory creative idea. What makes Yoshiyuki Miyamae different from student works is not only technological progress, but also his ability to transform such exaggerated three-dimensional effects into more practical effects. There are more than 20 sets of clothing in this series that use 3-D steam expansion technology. , some of them are already very suitable for our daily wear, and the effect of wearing them will be great! I think some elite artists will like them better.
In addition, Issey Miyakes 2015 spring and summer womens wear series also uses large plaid printing and color block splicing, which are also done well!
