Issey Miyake Moves

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. Not available in French-speaking Canada. (53 minutes)
