One of Japan's fashion designer that I admire and whose style and design really holds my attention is Issey Miyake. I believe he is a genius. His method of pleating fabric is amazing. The Pleats Please line is a very interesting garment that Miyake experimented in the late 80's and later became the most sought after garment for women of high style in the early 90's into the 21st century.
Miyake's pleating involves cutting and sewing the garment and then placing them between layers of paper fed into a heat press, where the pleating process takes place. Once the garments are removed from the heating press, the pleats literally leave its mark on the fabric thus giving the garment beautiful pleats that add originality to the design. His pleats collection is a palette of beautiful colors and the whole piece is wearable.
Issey Miyake's Pleats Please is a winner, it never goes out of style. Cheers to Miyake, cheers to pleats and may all women of elegance have their pleats please as well.
