Issey Miyake has never been one to modify his style to make it more palatable to Western women. He is really a traditional Japanese designer and makes extraordinary innovations with his gorgeous fabrics. While other Asian designers were creating a new fusion in fashion, Issey was bringing ancient Japan into the future, even beyond today - his clothes are still futuristic but they are also primitive in a certain charming way. Easy to wear, unbelievably comfortable and intellectually alluring, women who wear old school Miyake are usually smarter and more sophisticated than your average fashion consumer. A coffee and cream wool and linen cape with gorgeous smocked yoke and exaggerated collar. Fastens along the hidden placket with one button left exposed in the hollow of the throat, there are slits for the hands so the fabric forms a sort of voluminous sleeve. Fabulous with a floor-length Yohji Yamamoto skirt and Ann Demeulemeester boots, it bears the early red, white and blue label. Sized to fit anywhere from a modern 6 to 12, it is 55" in length so you must be tall to wear this. Excellent condition. sold |
