i discovered issey miyake’s haat store in aoyama (tokyo) - a line of clothing that, unlike pleats please and APOC, is totally dependent on hand-craft. the elaborately wrought pieces are made by hand either in india or japan. the line is designed by makiko minagawa, miyake’s long-time textile designer, and the focus is on the fabric, not the shape of the clothing. as an added bonus they conceived of this gorgeous pop-up catalog to highlight the subdued spring collection.
