Miyake Market
“Design is not for philosophy—it's for life”
Miyake Market:
The Miyake Market is an affordable every-day wear archive sale of functional fashion pieces by Issey Miyake. Featuring jumpsuits, leggings, functional jackets, dresses, bodysuits and layering pieces at market prices, all in incredible fabrics and timeless style for one day only.
Miyake was obsessed with designing every-day wear for the every-day person and created several diffusion brands to house his different lines. Pieces were collected at friends and family sales in Tokyo in the 80s and 90s, and include Issey brand, Plantation, IMMM, K-Zelle and his protogè’s line Tsumori Chisato.
“My purpose is to produce something that people can wear for a long time. So it has to be wearable and durable. That’s one of the sustainable approaches that we take.”
