Issey Miyake DEAD

[Peekaboo]

Bit of a niche one but it's referenced by Ab Fab and the PSB so it has a certain Moopy appeal.

I walked into his flagship store in Tokyo once and as a person who rarely wears black I was impressed to see how incredibly creative you could get with a hundred shapes and shades of the COMPLETE ABSENCE OF COLOUR.

Amazing vision but yes, definitely a look. The pleating is gorgeous (if you can get away with it!)

 

[Beverley]

oh NO! i adored him i went to his exhibition in Tokyo and ADORED everything he did with pleats.

L’eau d’Issy was big favourite of mine at the turn of the millennium.

Still is one of the best perfumes ever created.

L’eau d’Issy was big favourite of mine at the turn of the millennium.

I have an old, possibly slightly off, bottle in the back of the cupboard. I'll give it a spritz in tribute!

My Mum loves that perfume. For some reason I never thought they were a real person, just an invented namesake like Mavis Beacon.

 

[Apoca]

NO.

Issey Miyake Sport has been my go-to forever. Gorgeous and citrus-y.

 

[Soldi]

Omgz i’m wearing l’eau d’issey pour homme RIGHT NOW

Mavis Beacon is a made-up person? I thought she was Belisha’s sister

This is a dark day for women on the boards of art galleries.
