“ISSEY MIYAKE“ “Minaret Dress“ 1995 tribute to Milan “Salone del Mobile 2012“ - This heat- and pressure-set pleated dress, which resembles a Japanese hanging paper lantern, is worn suspended from the wearer’s shoulders. With each movement of the body, the dress swings and sways like a lantern in the the years, Miyake has collaborated with weavers, artists and poets, choreographers and photographers as part of his exploration of what clothes can do and be made from. In the mid 1980s he staged a series of exhibitions aimed at exploring the relationship between the body’s form and the garment.
