“Being stylish and being fashionable are two entirely different things. You can easily buy your way into being fashionable. Style, I think is in your DNA. It implies originality and courage.”

Iris Apfel, August 29, 1921 - March 1, 2024

Issey Miyake Pleats Please Guess Artist Series (1998), constructed by chinese artist: Cai Guo-Qiang

Pleats Please Guest Artist Series, a collaboration between Issey Miyake and up-and-coming artists. This time, in honor of the 'Forbidden State', gunpowder was exploded on clothes, and an abstract image of a dragon, which is a symbol of 'life' in China, was created on cloth using the latest printing technology. The efforts of the two, who are always seeking new creativity, resulted in a piece that considers further possibilities for fashion.
