TASCHEN Issey Miyake

Flipping through the multilingual captions alongside the images really deepened my appreciation for Miyake’s pleating techniques. The hardcover binding feels substantial, and the glossy pages make the fashion photographs pop beautifully.

The 447-page depth is what sold me—it doesn't just skim the iconic pleats but digs into the philosophy behind each collection, and the multilingual text makes it easy to share with friends. I've spent two evenings just flipping through the visuals and still find new details in the garment photograph

The page stock is a thick, matte finish that feels archival. I found myself stopping constantly to examine the textile details in the product shots, and the multilingual captions kept me engaged for hours. A beautiful, definitive volume for anyone interested in fashion as art.
