Issey Miyake

Designer

Mr. Issey Miyake, with his originality, has recaptured the relationship between plane fabrics and the three-dimensionality of the human body and formulated the epoch-making concept of “a piece of cloth (A-POC)” rooted in Eastern culture. Applying this concept and cutting edge technology to his designs, he has been creating clothing that can become a part of people’s lives, cutting across time, national borders, and classes.

＊This field then was Field of Arts (Painting, Sculpture, Craft, Architecture, Design).
