Defining Moment:

1993 — Pleats Please launched; technology folded into poetry

Issey Miyake

(

1970 – 2022

)

ee-see mee-yah-keh

Miyake turned process into philosophy.

Pleats, folding, and innovation became extensions of thought — garments designed to move, to breathe, to live.

‍

His work proved that technology could feel human, that invention could be lyrical.

Structural Focus

Process as Form

The method of making defines the structure. Repetition, accumulation, or procedure becomes the visible logic of the work.

In Issey Miyake’s work, this approach appears where folding systems generate form through material logic.

Material Intelligence

Material behavior actively determines structural decisions.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Form is constructed around the body through material, proportion, and movement.

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.

Japanese Modernism

Modern form is shaped by tradition, craft, and spatial discipline.
