Issey Miyake RTW SS2014

A few weeks ago, the Luxsure staff attended the Issey Miyake Spring Summer 2014 ready-to-wear show. The fruit of extensive research, the Japanese designer seeks to combine naturalness and technology, lightness and structure, the square and the circle? Two fundamental figures that respond to each other and together form a balance, like ying and yang.

The collection opens with the anti-matter, spiritual color: white. A collection turned towards the sky – its main inspiration – with the color prism used (white/blue/rainbow colors) but also the materials, airy and fluid. Without setting aside his rigor and love for graphic, highly worked pieces, Issey Miyake proposes structured pieces, white and black, to break up this light, floating side. Softness combined with technique, a beautiful oxymoron in fashion that I particularly appreciate.

Following the imaginary lines of the giant chessboard on the floor, the models look up at us with smiles on their faces. Unusual for Parisian fashion shows! Their demeanor underscores the freshness of this innovative collection.

Perforations reminiscent of constellations, transparency, 3D-worked pieces, a metallic look, framing, superimpositions, oversized cuts, sportswear inspirations discerned at different key moments in the show. So many techniques that contribute to the depth of this season.

A colorful interlude with delicate, light dresses dotted with reds, oranges and greens, a veritable sunset that adds softness and poetry to the entire collection.

The highlights of the collection are the origami/accordion-effect pleated jackets and the structured voile dresses. We hope you enjoyed this collection as much as we did!
