HISTORY
Issey Miyake’s Pleats Please line redefined everyday dressing through textile innovation, built on permanently pleated fabric that moves with the body while retaining its structure. Introduced in the early 1990s, the line brought together technical precision and ease, creating garments that are both functional and expressive.
This piece from Fall/Winter 1997 reflects Miyake’s continued exploration of illusion and surface. The trompe-l’œil graphic is printed onto the pleated fabric, creating depth and dimensionality across an otherwise flat plane. As the fabric expands and contracts, the pattern shifts subtly, giving the surface a sense of movement and rhythm. It captures the balance between playfulness and discipline that defines Miyake’s work.
