Research by the ISSEY MIYAKE team into wind in all its forms was the inspiration for this new collection.
To observe the wind is to be aware of nature, to think about the flow of air that envelopes us and the environment in which we exist.
As an extension of this idea, a range of garments has been created that engage in playful interaction with the wind, such as windcheaters and ventilated coats that allow wind to course around the body.
Like a yacht propelled forward as it rides on the wind that is generated by its own motion, this season's ISSEY MIYAKE creations are infused with a dynamic optimism.
A narrative inspired by the magnificence of wind led us to a collaboration with James Dyson; the design engineer who harnessed the power of air and invented cyclone technology for vacuum cleaners.
Dyson gave the world a vacuum cleaner that overturned the prevailing wisdom, taking 15 years to perfect.
The truly innovative quality of the product and its design engineering excellence have particular resonance for ISSEY MIYAKE.
We are honored to have James Dyson manage the stage set for the Paris Collection show, where he will generate wind on the runway.
