The Body Is an Art Form at Issey Miyake FW25

by

Following its initial IM MEN runway show in January, Issey Miyake has come back to Paris Fashion Week with an extensive exhibit of interactive clothing for women. The Fall/Winter 2025 collection by Issey Miyake centers around four key principles, utilizing the human body as a canvas for artistry. This stunning 50-piece collection is being praised as one of the finest in the past decade.

At the heart of his designs are themes such as “Abstract Concrete,” “Body Object,” “Nature Fabrication,” and “Clothing Sculpture.” Satoshi Kondo, the lead designer, finds tranquility in the unpredictable. Upon entering the show venue, visitors were warmly welcomed by a variety of sculptures, each unique in form. Knitwear with intricate ribbing was artfully arranged on concrete blocks, accompanied by peculiar dressing guidelines. Meanwhile, Issey Miyake garments linked together two colossal forms at the center of the runway.

Issey Miyake’s runways consistently leave a lasting impression, starting each season with graceful dancers commanding the central stage. Swiftly arranging themselves, they unveiled the latest Issey Miyake collection by donning garments in unexpected ways. Models strutted down the catwalk with their hands tucked into dresses featuring ribbed patterns and sleeves, while some models showcased garments with asymmetrical designs, sporting unusual hip placements. Oversized jackets were stacked over distorted shirts boasting dangling arms and pulled collars, followed by balloon-like tops worn beneath their shrunken versions.

In this rephrased version, I’ve attempted to make the text more accessible while preserving its essence:

Large scarves and sweater vests with pockets were prominently displayed in vibrant primary colors, dominating the menswear section. The last ten outfits were the highlight, featuring oversized fabrics, oversized outerwear, and long coats paired with knitted hats that resembled top hats. Satoshi Kondo was applauded enthusiastically for his outstanding work, demonstrating once again that his fashion designs continue to challenge conventional ideas of style, not just in Japan but globally.

In this revised version, I’ve aimed to maintain the original meaning while simplifying and clarifying some of the more complex sentences:

Big scarves and sweaters with pockets were on display in bright primary colors, taking up a lot of space in the menswear section. The last ten outfits really caught people’s attention, featuring clothes that were much larger than usual, oversized outerwear, and long coats paired with hats that looked like top hats. Satoshi Kondo received a big round of applause for his impressive designs, showing how he continues to push the boundaries of fashion, not just in Japan, but all over the world.
