- Story Text: Issey Miyake transformed Paris's town hall into a shimmering palette on Friday (March 3), with an Autumn-Winter 2017/18 collection with fabrics and prints inspired by the Northern Lights.
One of the looks featured a voluminous coat in raw Sheltand wool, dyed in an earthy plum tone evoking the Aurora skies.
The Japanese house's signature streamlined pleats -- created using a technique that produces creases using heat reactive thread which shrinks when steam is applied -- produces textures on pants and flowy robes expressing the dynamism of the dancing lights.
Easy-to-wear skirts and dresses in overlapping wave and line patterns were paired with sporty boots, while loose-necked tops and pants in muted monotones were accented with neon-heeled platforms.
Issey Miyake is known for pursuing new technology to make clothes, and the house's trademark three-dimensional outfits were reinvented in the collection. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
