Issey Miyake - TASCHEN 1995
This book defines the roots of Miyake's design revolution and traces the influences on Miyake from African tribal colours to Japanese farmers' cloth and the organic forms of nature. Miyake perpetuates a vision of a global culture including his native Japanese traditions.
In the 1990's, Miyake's development of pleats, applying the most advanced technology to a design motif of ancient origin, demonstrates his focus on clothing for the modern age. Miyake combines the elegance with simplicity and function. The various applications of pleats are here depicted for the first time as the culmination of Miyake's invention and continual modification.
