To wear PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE is to experience the joy and freedom of dressing for the modern age. Originally introduced in 1988, the revolutionary pleating technique – where the garment is sewn into shape and then pleated – became such a signature, PLEATS PLEASE ISSEY MIYAKE was launched as a standalone brand in 1993. Today, the same founding principles still ring true: lightweight garments that are easy to wear, easy to wash and create a silhouette that moves with your body. From tops and dresses that can be layered over skirts and trousers in endless combinations to a bag that pulls the whole look together, you’ll come to rely on the brand’s easy styling and functionality.
