What is me ISSEY MIYAKE?
me ISSEY MIYAKE is one of the brand lines of the Japanese design house Issey Miyake. Since its launch the line has been defined by a single signature material, STRETCH PLEATS.
Products and positioning
The core of the offer is the STRETCH PLEATS top series. The fabric is lightweight and easy to care for, and its fine vertical and horizontal pleats allow it to stretch and contract with the body. The house describes the pieces as comfortable, everyday wear for everyone.
- STRETCH PLEATS tops
- New colours and patterns every season
- Lightweight, easy care construction
Because the material changes shape with movement, the line emphasises playfulness between the wearer, space and fabric. This idea was explored in a STRETCH PLEATS installation at the CREATION SPACE in ISSEY MIYAKE SEMBA, which displayed the material wrapped around everyday objects.
Distribution
me ISSEY MIYAKE is sold through Issey Miyake stores and spaces, department store counters and the house's online stores.
Why it matters
me ISSEY MIYAKE shows how a design house can build a durable product line around one proprietary textile technology, turning material innovation into accessible everyday clothing.
