About the Author:

Renowned clothing designer Issey Miyake studied graphic design at Tama Art University, Tokyo before founding the Miyake Design Studio in 1970, Miyake’s creative base for all his making things. In 2007, Miyake opened the design facility 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT, also in Tokyo.

Review:

“The definitive history of the designer’s unique fusions of poetry and practicality draws on over four decades of work... Chock full of stylish photography from Yuriko Takagi.” (Hypebeast)

“Stunning photographs by Yuriko Takagi of Miyake’s groundbreaking designs ― including his handkerchief dress and origami pleats ― shot among sublime natural landscapes.” - , New York

“[The book] paints Miyake as a visionary who has honed his ideas over decades, and the evolution is startling.” (C Magazine)

“Issey Miyake brings the Japanese fashion designer’s story to life through floating wire bodies and rainbow color pleats. [...] Good ideas aren’t born overnight and, as Miyake’s chronology proves, creative genius stems from lifelong cultivation.” (SURFACE, New York)
