Our Point of View

Rendered in a soft ivory cream, the Unfurling Pleats cardigan embodies Issey Miyake's philosophy of three-dimensional form as wearable sculpture — the diamond-lattice structure across the body and the rhythmic accordion folds of the sleeves holding their shape whether the garment is worn or at rest. The pale, almost luminous tone of this variant heightens the play of light and shadow across every pleat, lending an architectural delicacy that moves effortlessly between gallery and garden. Styled open or fastened with its tonal buttons, it drapes into an asymmetric pointed hem that feels as considered as any couture finish.
