Issey Miyake
1970–2022 · Japan
Issey Miyake's legacy is defined by his relentless experimentation with fabric and form, particularly his patented pleating technique that transformed polyester into sculptural, wrinkle-resistant garments. His 1980s Pleats Please line and later Bao Bao bags remain highly collectible. The A-POC project exemplifies his commitment to sustainable, zero-waste design. Miyake's work bridges avant-garde art and everyday wear, making him a cornerstone of 20th-century fashion history.
