As one of the most important designers of the last century, Issey Miyake is known for his innovation and career-long development of ingenious folding techniques in his garments.

This full circle skirt with handkerchief hem is signature Miyake, created using a single piece of folded cloth to achieve structure and volume. The jacket features a patchwork of various green and navy striped patterns, perfectly considered and aligned.
