Issey Miyake ES16

For Resort 16, Issey Miyake creative director Yoshiyuki Miyamae and his team visited the tropics, collecting leaves, screw pines, and ferns along the way. From there, they developed a collection lush with deep, dark colors, then injected it with brighter moments.

For the dramatic, a photoreal, green-on-red print of the tropical plant Alocasia was woven in a six-yarn jacquard technique, then fashioned into a trench that was cinched together at the waist with pleating. The loose silhouette of a reversible double-faced wool coat in chartreuse and cornflower blue lent it some subtlety.

The leaf idea moved beyond prints, with flappy trousers that could be worn three different ways: wrapped in the front or back, or just left hanging. The team also experimented with its 3-D stretch technique, using the "nut" pleat—which resembles a star anise—as a basis for the collection's more classic pieces, like a cropped high-neck jacket. This collection is now landed at Club 21 Erawan Bangkok, 2nd floor. For more info, please contact 02 250 7719.
