Dress-kimono-ISSEY MIYAKE-PLEATS PLEASE (Sample)

A rare creation by Issey Miyake , from the iconic Pleats Please line. This pleated kimono dress, presented as a sample , embodies the freedom of experimentation and creative audacity of the Japanese fashion house.

Crafted in the famous permanent pleat developed by Miyake, the piece is distinguished by its lightness and fluidity , offering total freedom of movement. Its full opening on the front allows for a flexible wear: closed, it evokes the silhouette of a sculptural dress; worn open, it transforms into a long and airy cardigan , ideal for layering.

The floral pattern in vibrant red, orange, and green contrasts with a deep purple background, creating a strong and vibrant visual effect. Each fold catches the light and highlights the richness of the pattern, giving the piece an almost painterly dimension.
