00s Issey Miyake ‘Abstract’ Embroidered Corset Half-Zip Jacket

Since founding in 1971, Issey Miyake has retained an acute understanding of movement and experiment through all avenues of design. A pioneer of the Parisian fashion circuit, Miyake paved the way for fellow Japanese avant-gardists in the eyes of couture, establishing himself both on and off the runway prior to other’s induction. Pushing outlandish cuts and innovative textile, the designer reinvented the male and female profile over many years, toying with out of the box mechanisms to pair. Obsessed with the construction of one’s silhouette, Miyake would actualize futuristic takes on past and present catalogues, shifting our perspectives of fashion one thread at time.

 

Debuting in the 2000s era, this gorgeous overcoat features embroidered abstract motifs on torso and underside. Fit with leather corset string detailing on either side, metallic hardware clasps the jacket, accenting the tan colouring base. Tagged as a size medium, this piece is in great condition throughout.
