Issey Miyake, an exponential Japanese designer who took over the fashion world with his designs. He was most known for his technology driven clothing designs, exhibitions and fragrances.
He was a survivor and witness of the devastating Hiroshima bombing in 1945 when was only 7 years old. And so his idea of fashion was for it to be accessible to all as clothes empower people and he believed in spreading that happiness amongst the common masses.
Here is a poster I created inspired from one his most famous collections 'Pleats Please'. The poster is to inspire designers as they wake up every morning to Issey Miyake's vision for the world hidden between the pleats of the garment.
The poster may not be legible from afar but the idea for it is to attract people using the contrast of lines and shapes and then get them to read through and rummage for more.
