The New Transformer

THE NEW TRANSFORMER...

Reshaping the body through Clothing_

Issey Miyake's clothes

creates the new shape of the body

through his design.

His design is often used to be inspiration,

because of the unusual silhouette he makes.

These all images from the book called

'Iseey Miyake body works (1983), A perspective beyond form'

His tendency of using synthetic fabrics

is very helpful to create and mould

the interesting shapes,

for example his pleating techniques with polyester.

This beautifully shaped jacket and the shorts

have perfect curves to follow body line smoothly.

He also experimented with his photos

to enhance the impact of his garment shape as above.

Balanced or Unbalanced Mix & Match layering

clothes also interesting to look at.

Using similar colours with different textures of

the fabric is another way of layering the garment.

Unusual fastenings and transforming traditional

Japanese garment into modern shape also gives

a new direction.

Interestingly twisted and knotted silhouette shows

his knowledge of looking at

the body shape in different angles.

The new meaning of Transformation throughout

the clothing is given and expanded to

more possibilities.
