Little Book of Issey Miyake

Research, craftsmanship and experimentation form the foundations of fashion futurist Issey Miyake's designs. From Steve Jobs's signature black turtleneck to the iconic Pleats Please range and Grace Jones's sculptural looks, Issey Miyake's technologically advanced yet deceptively simple-looking pieces redefined the notions of clothing and beauty. With 100 stunning photographs and insightful text exploring his innovative collections, Little Book of Issey Miyake explores the extraordinary vision of the Japanese design pioneer whose house continues to make waves.
