Homme Plissé Issey Miyake is a guest at the Italian men’s fashion fair Pitti Uomo. The brand is inspired by the country and its population.
The Menswear line of the Japanese designer of the same name seizes the chance – after the presentation during Paris Fashion Week – to take a new path, a spokesperson during the press conference on Wednesday, prior to the show. ‘Open Studio’ is the title of the new chapter of De Lijn that is known for its pleated pieces. It was first presented in Florence with an exhibition and a catwalk show.
Land and population
The design team left the studio in Tokyo and traveled to Italy to experience the local atmosphere. The team studied the colors of different objects and surfaces in Italian cities – from a glass of red wine and an anchor to the facade of a house. Based on this, the designers created an extensive color palette for the SS26 collection.
The local communities and the journey itself were also a source of inspiration. For example, Homme Plissé Issey Miyake showed an asymmetrical ‘Schildersvest’, which with its many subjects and bags was perfect for the brushes and paint of the team during the trip. In addition, there were various voluminous jackets that could be folded into a carrying case with a few handles.
‘Open Studio’ will also remain part of the concept of Homme Plissé Issey Miyake in the coming seasons and will be a reason for the design team to explore new locations and gain inspiration.
