HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE A/W 2022-23
HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE AUTUMN WINTER 2022/23 collection looks at a tent, as a structure consisting of fabric and a frame, and adapts elements of its construction for clothes-making. The way it engages in making folds and creases like drawing arcs on a pleated canvas give rise to a new exploration of three-dimensional forms.
By experimenting with the fundamentals of making a garment: the way to fold, sew, and pleat a piece of fabric, and studying the relationship between them, the collection develops original silhouettes that surround the body and evoke a presence of a sculpture so lively that it looks like it is about to move.
Available in bright colors, the MONTHLY COLOR SEPTEMBER series features a new coat style inspired by the three-dimensional design of a tent’s fabric. The triangular form creates a loose, voluminous silhouette, created by bringing two adjacent corners of a rectangular piece of fabric towards the center, leaving no folds under the arms.
ARC is inspired by the form of a tent when it is held up by curved poles. The folds of large arcs made in the pleated fabric become the structure of the garments, giving a sense of fluidity and roundness. This series features a top and a jacket with arched folds going around the body from the back down to the cuffs, and pants with the folds wrapping around the legs.
FRAME COAT is a padded outwear series that looks at the making of a tent. The design integrates the framework of a tent into its garment construction that is created with a matte-textured fabric in a tent-inspired color palette. For a different silhouette, the hem can be adjusted by using the drawstrings in the interior.
BOW is inspired by the natural bow shape of a tarp stretched over and across a tent. In the form of a garment, a piece of fabric is laid loosely over a silhouette that fits the body, creating the negative space between the fabrics. The three-dimensional construction becomes more apparent when looking at the garment from the side. 
Designed for people to mix and match in any way to express their originality, the garments are lightweight, comfortable, wrinkle-resistant, and can be stored and carried in compact sizes. Today the brand continues to enliven everyday living as it is made for every occasion in life.
