Irving Penn on Issey Miyake

Product Information

From a young age, Miyake respected artist Isamu Noguchi, whose newness and sense of fun in his designs inspired Miyake.

The visual directness affirms the precise and calibrated way Miyake’s garments are designed and made, which is magnified by how Penn takes photographs.A comprehensive set of images from their work together is reproduced in the photobook Irving Penn Regards the Work of Issey Miyake, published in 1999 and edited by Mark Holborn. In Paris, he visited several museums and he mentioned that he was influenced by sculptors such as Constantin Brancusi and Alberto Giacometti. Jobs said, "So I asked Issey to make me some of his black turtlenecks that I liked, and he made me like a hundred of them.

By wearing the artworks upon their bodies, the wearers interacted with fashion and art simultaneously. P." From the library of Peter Schub who had a long and distinguished career as a revered photo agent. The fabric's 'memory' holds the pleats and when the garments are liberated from their paper cocoon, they are ready-to wear.Two-volume catalogue for the exhibition of both Penn and Miyake "Issey Miyake: Pleats Please", at the Touko Museum of Contemporary Art, 1 -30 Septembre 1990.
