Issey Miyake is a Japanese fashion designer who started his career in Paris for La Roche and Givenchy. He later moved to New York and then returned to Japan to found the brand Issey Miyake. Pleats Please came to life after Miyake created costumes for dancers and studied their movements. He invented a technique where clothes are first sewn together and then folded to create pleats. This has become the designer's hallmark. The garments are minimalistic, easy to care for, lightweight, and can be folded and transported without losing their shape. The clothes are comfortable and fit into any modern woman's wardrobe.
