Japan : Miyake’s new atelier brings light for budding designers
April 9, 2007 |  |
 Issey Miyake, the Japanese fashion designer known for his technology driven apparel designs and exhibitions, has opened an atelier "21 21 Design Sight" at new Tokyo Midtown complex in Minato Ward.
This designing studio, which showcases contemporary Japanese creations proposed by the designer, will be managed by the Miyake Issey Foundation.
Miyake plans to organize a fashion show during coming autumn to discover young designers, where ordinary people could visit.
The Japanese designer created many designs with both usefulness and sense of fun. One of the successful experiments was 'Pleats Please' with new methods of pleating that allows flexibility of movement to the wearer.
Another creation which gave the designer an international fame was ‘A-POC’ acronym for ‘a piece of cloth’ is a pipe-styled cloth that can be broken down to a number of different dresses by cutting it up. | | |
