"A designer who has made great contributions to the innovative development of clothing by fusing Eastern and Western cultures and applying cutting edge technology"
Mr. Issey Miyake, with his originality, has recaptured the relationship between plane fabrics and the three-dimensionality of the human body and formulated the epoch-making concept of "a piece of cloth (A-POC)" rooted in Eastern culture. Applying this concept and cutting edge technology to his designs, he has been creating clothing that can become a part of people's lives, cutting across time, national borders, and classes.
