Issey Miyake

Touring Issey Miyake's design studio and factory as well as spotlighting his garments on the runway, this program presents a total look at one of the world's leading fashion designers. Half innovation, half invention, Issey's use of pleats and twists has opened up a whole new world of possibilities in fabric by exploiting texture and wrinkles. The process of folding and twisting the fabrics by hand, then baking them, is captured on film. Miyake talks about his background, training, and some of his favorite projects, such as designing costumes for William Forsythe's Frankfurt Ballet and outfits for Lithuania's 1992 Olympic team.

En el mundo de la moda, el acontecimiento del año es la presentación en París de las colecciones de prêt-à-porter. Allí acuden diseñadores, modelos, fotógrafos, periodistas y famosos, aunque los auténticos protagonistas son las envidias y las rivalidades personales. Este año, el asesinato del jefe de la Chambre Sindical de la moda los ha convertido a todos en sospechosos.

An intimate and loving interview with the late fashion designer Miyake in his Tokyo apartment, alongside glimpses of his groundbreaking creations. In his own words, "When I work, I don't think I'm a man or a Japanese."
