Why We Love ISSEY MIYAKE Pleats

[@Sangiev]

THAT GOD DAMN INTRO - OKAYYYYYYY

[@FashionRoadman]

Yessir!

[@vicentepinedo556]

One of my closest friends, who is studying fashion design in London, introduced me to the legend of Issey Miyake. His dad is the one in charge for the production of the pleats line - both Homme Plissé and Pleats Please - and has been for many years now. So I wasn't only lucky to get some pieces as presents, but when introduced to Miyake and the whole Japanese fashion industry, I did also start engaging more with what I was dressing and my style in general. Great video, dude! New subscriber here

whats the difference between homme plisse and pleasts please? they all look the same

[@valeriagarcia8085]

@@JM-gf7ti pleats please is the women’s line, home plisse is men’s

As someone whos seen fashion evolve from the aughts on. Its interesting to see Issey pleats evolve from something niche women used to love and kill for to a meme'd mens fashion thing. I definitley think the loose and wide silhouette has moved mens fashion forward in a positive way no matter how "typical" they become.

[@eyeofbridget]

I love that wearability/comfort and function/versatility are foremost in his designs. I also did not know that the compactability of his garments is a very conscious choice because of the limited space in Japan. Thank you for this video. Yohji has always been my favorite but I've been getting into Issey a LOT lately.

[@arpdstudios]

this is my first time ever hearing about Issey Miyake and Makiko Minagawa, and the work they put together is genius. Their philosophy and how that ties in with the designs they had made hits home with me on a personal level. You can feel the purity of their work. I'm glad I was able to research about Issey and Mikako through your channel.

[@westlife0999]

popped up 5am hong kong time, red eyed man was like say no more, wish my 9am lectures be like this

[@calabrees7]

got my first issey miyake pleats piece today after being introduced to the brand through this video! congrats on issue 1

[@gurungbros7461]

Please don't let my guy flop. I am a fashion marketing student and this channel is like a study film for me.

[@ashfranceschi]

I found a pair of black pleated Issey miyake trousers in a charity shop for £1!!! One of the best finds I've ever had and also one of my most comfortable trousers

[@chikennoruka72]

Yoooo what luck

[@Hiderize]

I really love creatives supporting and finding other creatives , connections built like that are so beautiful

[@skinsolicitor]

Issey Miyake's Pure is one of my favorite perfume😍 but I don't know all that much about his fashion work so thanks for this

[@anderswenell2765]

Have I mentioned how fire the intro and music is absolutely fire

[@emilykawwanna3780]

I remember going to Siam Paragon on holiday and being fascinated with Miyake’s geometric patterns on his tote bags in the shop windows. sick video!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥

[@aristoddle8932]

Wow this is incredible. Thank you for putting this together dude! I’ve been really working to just self-educate about modern fashion in the last few months, and I could watch 300 hours of this sort of analysis and love it. I think you mentioned in another video that you were worried about going too deep and alienating audiences. As long as you make the material contextual and approachable like this, I can’t imagine this sort of thing being anything *but* a richer, better version of any similar analysis out there. Excited for more to come!

[@rasperjilius8675]

Amazing video mate. Just a tip if you do future reacts, maybe match the video audio levels to your own audio because it was a bit soft.

[@isavalla1935]

Can always count on this channel for consistent quality content

[@lita-styles]

Really enjoying your documentaries. Your helping my embark on my journey of research 😀

[@Jenovard]

Issey just closed its main men’s line at the end of 2020. I missed the email alert and the staff in the Ginza store told me at the beginning of Dec so I scooped up a few final pieces. Fortunately Homme Plisse will still be around but if you can find Issey Miyake Men on online resale shops definitely grab it.

[@JeanPaulGaultierMafia]

Got my first pair of issey pants last week. Perfect timing 🙌🏻

[@veeceey1073]

First of all, I need that Mowalola hat! Secondly, I appreciate you letting us know about the documentary. I’ve read up a bit on Issey, but always down to learn more.

[@nurtured-channel2953]

It seems like everyone with ideas on sustainability...are already too late.... Yssey is a visionary

[@jordanjenkins1973]

I've seen Issey's Homme Plisse line but this documentary allowed me to appreciate more of his work. Thank you, love your content

[@Uch3_]

This was a really great video man, so informative.

[@tubaavalon]

another update that i needed in my life!

[@sleepy1017]

Rip to the goat

[@anderswenell2765]

Been looking for some for a min😭

[@arturodfabela]

Yeah I’ve seen that a lot of architects, designers (not fashion lol), photographers and artists love and wear the Japanese fashion designers and others like Rick

0 dislikes. You’re doing it right.

[@alejandrafigueroa8922]

Wow that intro!

[@loiseangelica4691]

here hours after hearing his passing :(( RIP legend

[@Happinc]

Hi again a brilliant insightful video! Keep up your very good & mindful work. You are educating people of your generation (and mine) to analyse understand and really value their clothes to hopefully REJECT FAST FASHION... to respect and really value the genius and timelessness of designers like Issey Miyake ( yes I’m an old duck baby boomer born in Tasmania in 1963) if you are lucky enough to own an issey miyake piece keep it love it and pass it on to your children. It won’t take up much space but the little it does take up is important. ☺️

[@Sammeeee]

Great video, thank you

[@artapples8417]

We are lucky that we are living at the time of three masters at the same time. We don't fully appreciate that lucky convergence.

[@Seti12345]

The one fact that always comes to mind for me when I think of Issey Miyake is that he made Steve Jobs iconic black turtleneck

[@MTMF.london]

Yeah, but that was the least successful from the design point of view. It was very basic and just because Steve Jobs ordered in hundreds and wore it daily does not mean it was any good. Everything else he did was better, more inventive and revolutionary.

[@Seti12345]

@@MTMF.london don’t get me wrong, I love isseys work, but the Steve jobs turtleneck is just iconic and timeless, it may be simple but it’s expertly executed

[@shoichihayashi66]

Omg this is perfect, I literally got the same black long sleeve as yours just last week

[@jaspaldari_soccerball]

I personally wasn't able to find the homme plisse pants that comfortable :0 Sitting down with them made it feel like they were going to flatten the pleats, and the polyester felt gross and oily on my skin. The pants also didn't flow as much, with it sticking to my legs instead of bouncing. I'm glad the pants are popular though, and Issey Miyake is getting more and more well known. I'm always looking forward to trying on new things from the brand, but I was a little disappointed with the homme plisse trousers.

[@kristinabliss]

Your honesty is helpful. I was wondering about the issue of the icky plastic not being able to be overcome, no matter how complicated the origami designs for mobility.

[@staceyk1243]

You’ve done a beautiful job with this video. I loved that you pointed out that Issey Miyake was so much more than pleats. For me, he was an intellectual. He was who you brought up as why fashion is art.

[@jacobmurray61]

Whats the of the documentary you featured? I'm trying to trace down the record playing in the background of it - thank you

[@jacobmurray61]

I know that track- but can't remember it

[@kylelim1134]

Thanks for putting this together and for sharing with us! I also like the fact that they included Makiko in the documentary. Actually never really knew about her until now.

[@lita-styles]

Love the ides that he challenged in regards space and practicality. Honestly as a person that likes long term wears and worth with items, that spoke to me

[@갱와이-m7g]

thanks for good video!

[@tunaketenoglu1169]

Great video man, but maybe change the mic. Your voice pops so much. It makes your voice harsh.

[@michellewouters328]

I love Issey Miyake! The first time I went to Paris, I went to the Issey Miyake boutique instead of going to the Louvre--the Pleats were there and I did the thing you are *never* supposed to do in Paris--I manhandled the merch. I had to touch them and feel how thing contract and spring back. My goal in life is to find some Pleats Please garments in a thrift shop.

[@Rem56689]

Theres a lot in thrift stores in japan. I could potentially proxy some if you were interested.

[@michellewouters328]

@@Rem56689 Oh wow! That's amazing! I haven't been to Japan since 1997--but I remember seeing amazing thrift stores in Osaka.

Fun fact his real name is Miyake Kazumaru Issey miyake is just his alias in the fashion game, I forgot the reason why he is named issey, but I saw it in a @/sugarwoman video.

Very interesting very interesting. Similar to Lee Mcqueen being called Alexander McQueen.

@@FashionRoadman indeed, but why was he called Alexander tho?

[@saltysteezz33]

@@FashionRoadman cause I wasn’t aware of that

[@FashionRoadman]

Technically Alexander was his middle name but rumour has it Isabella Blow advised that "Alexander McQueen" would work better as a brand name compared to "Lee McQueen"

[@saltysteezz33]

@@FashionRoadman I mean, she was right Alexander McQueen sounds way better and more memorable, than Lee McQueen, tho I wonder if he hadn’t taken her advice would it have made a big difference, would he still be seen the same?
