The men's brand "IM MEN" of "ISSEY MIYAKE" proposes new everyday wear for men. If one word were to describe the creations of this brand, the word "beauty of use" might be the best.
Functional details that take the wearer into consideration become the design as it is. I feel that this brand's clothes have something in common with military and workwear.
In this issue, we would like to introduce some of the new items from "i.m. men.
First up is the "KITE" series, inspired by the kite, a New Year's tradition. The lineup includes blousons and coats woven with a cut jacquard technique that accentuates the expression of the material, with a bold diamond-shaped pattern arranged in a kite motif.
Featuring a simple design made from a flat structure, it can be folded, rolled up, and buttoned into a loop on the rear collar for compact storage.
As the name suggests, the blouson and pants are reversible and can be worn either inside or outside.
Moreover, it is not simply reversible, but rather a clever design that allows some of the coloring of the lining to peek out even when the front side is worn.
The fabric is washed after sewing, which not only gives it a quaint feel but also makes it more pleasant to the touch.
PATA PATA" is a bag that can be easily folded along the creases to make it compact. This type of bag may be prone to creases, but I.M.MEN sublimates even this into its design.
The lightweight and durable material makes it an item that can be easily used in everyday life, such as shopping and going out for a short time.
The items introduced here are now on sale at the Issey Miyake online store and the flagship store in Aoyama.
