The creative director of the Issey Miyake men’s line, Yusuke Takashi, is young. Very young. But his understanding of the brand’s spirit and his interpretation of the Spring/Summer 2014 season show that talent waits for no age.
Usually very conceptual (we all remember the paper coats or the survival blanket), Issey Miyake was first and foremost a brand reserved for a fashion-conscious public. This season, it would seem that the Japanese brand wants to appeal to a wider audience without compromising its creative power and identity.
Color is at the heart of a wearable collection. With a palette of more shades than you can count, this show is probably one of the most colorful of the season (it ends on fuchsia garments)
Patterns give structure to said palette, and we’ve or enjoy quite varied work in prints (from geometric details including squares and hexagons to more abstract shapes).
The freshness of the Issey Miyake collection was embodied by an eclectic cast including
Isaac Ekblad, Zakaria Khiare, Luuk Van Os, Matvej Lykov, Jakob Hybholt and Bjorn Merinder.
