Pleats Please Issey Miyake - Issey Miyake moved from his native Japan to Paris in 1965 to pursue a career in fashion and this blue midi dress, part of his Pleats Please offering, is a statement of his success. It's crafted in Japan using an elaborate technique that involves cutting the fabric with generous measurements before pleating it through a pressure process to create sculptural silhouettes. Wear it with a handbag and flats for a gallery visit.
