Own a piece of fashion history with this exceptional dress from Issey Miyake's 1989 Reverse Pleats Collection. Crafted in black polyester, an ideal fabric for pleating, this museum-quality dress showcases Miyake's mastery of folding techniques and his innovative approach to creating pleated garments that move with grace and style. The dress features reversed micro pleats with horizontal creases along the sleeves and body, creating upward folds—a technique unique to Miyake that sets this dress apart. Starting with a simple, slightly off-center V neckline, the voluminous, asymmetric fabric at the shoulders takes center stage. Manipulate it into upright shapes or abstract folds for a dynamic, ever-changing look. The horizontal upward folds create a tiered, three-dimensional spiral around each arm and repeat along the body, forming a captivating textural rhythm. This rare and highly collectible dress is part of museum exhibits, showcasing Issey Miyake's impact on the fashion world. The reversed pleats and unique folding technique make it an iconic collector's piece. The somewhat dainty long sleeves and spiraling folds follow the natural lines of the body, creating a pleasing visual effect. Indulge in the artistry of Issey Miyake's design philosophy. This dress is not just a garment; it's a sculptural masterpiece that transcends time and trends, making a bold statement with every movement. Elevate your wardrobe with this iconic Issey Miyake dress—an investment in timeless style and innovation. Style this with a Bvlgari choker...
