FLY WITH IM MEN exhibition by Issey Miyake

IM MEN, the latest menswear brand from ISSEY MIYAKE:

“Launched in 2021, IM MEN pursues new possibilities of clothes-making with respect to the human body, derived from Issey Miyake’s philosophy of a piece of cloth. The design team sets out to redefine clothing with the approach to both a garment’s form-making and its construction, reflecting the practice of the integration of design and engineering.

This January, IM MEN presented its collection for the first time at Paris Men’s Fashion Week. This exhibition looks at five garments’ series from the collection, developed based on the philosophy of a piece of cloth.

To convey the unique construction of IM MEN, this exhibition features an installation by Japanese artist and designer Tokujin Yoshioka. The installation presents garments made from original fabrics, developed from incorporating advanced technologies into traditional weaving and dyeing techniques, reflecting the practice of integrating design (form-making) and engineering (construction), to explore the possibilities of a piece of cloth to its furthest limits.

We hope this exhibition provides an opportunity for audiences not only in fashion, but also in other creative fields and beyond, to encourage dialogues across disciplines and further explore the future of the relationship between society and clothing design.”
