Monthly Colors July Pleated Open Front Cardigan

Pleats Please Issey Miyake became its own brand in 1994, but the unique garment-pleating technique—the materials are developed from a single thread, and pleats are added after the clothes are sewn into shape—was first used by Issey Miyake in 1988. The clothes combine functionality with versatility for everyday life: they're light, wrinkle-proof, don't need to be dry-cleaned and can be folded for easy storage and travel.
