Possibly Issey Miyake's greatest strength lies in their fabric processing. What the team can do with materials, warping, manipulating, and transforming them into unique shapes is nothing short of amazing. Their pleats lines (both Pleats Please and Homme Plisse) are the most recognisable, however much of the avant-garde and cutting-edge technology comes with their mainline offerings and other sub-labels such as 132.5 and APOC. This particular top uses a polyester cotton blend that is then heat-pressed into a crinkled pattern with highs and lows that are maintained even after wear and wash. This provides both texture and depth in a garment that requires little care to maintain it this way. Set yourself apart from pleats wearers with this more obscure and unique execution of the same ideas.
