Krinkle, Fold, Layer, Twist

THURSDAY: DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
Recommendation: Bridgett, TREND Staff Writer


Japanese clothing and accessory designer Issey Miyake's work is technologically ingrained. One such example of his inventive genius is his reinvented method of making pleats. In 1993, he launched this new found breakthrough and it is referred to as "Pleats Please". This not only includes the reformed pleats, but other discoveries as well.

His collections are dynamic with their careful precision evident through the sometimes intricate and sometimes simple details. When looking at his work, you know that it was created with much calculation. His work is somehow inventive, streamlined, chaotic and simplistic all at once.


I highly recommend you check out his website. The website in itself is an experience with the different music set to each page and layout. It seems that everything he touches is gold.
