Art direction, installation design, signage planning, and publicity materials for HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE’s 10th anniversary special exhibition “10 YEARS OF DESIGN AND MAKING”. The exhibition focuses on the craftsmanship of HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE, a brand rooted in “product pleating,” a technique central to ISSEY MIYAKE.
The show window display takes inspiration from the pleating process at a factory, where garments are pressed between layers of paper to create pleats. Along with the garments, photographs of needles, tape measures, and fabric pieces used in the production process are displayed in the exhibition space. These elements illustrate how HOMME PLISSÉ garments, like well-worn tools familiar to their users, are crafted to stand the test of time and remain beloved for years to come.
