Issey Miyake’s restrained hope
The Japanese fashion house presents a collection that has become a subtle testimony to the fact that fashion protects and liberates, accompanies and transforms.
Under the silhouette of winter night, Issey Miyake presents an autumn-winter 2025-2026 collection in which each garment, each combination, dances between the frontier of freedom and structure.
A collection in which fabrics come to life, fold, inflate, and retract, as if breathing to the rhythm of a universe in which human warmth and technology merge seamlessly.
For its new collection, Issey Miyake opts for a chromatic palette that breathes ethereal tones: icy lead, steel grey, deep turquoise, and a faint coral that emerges timidly on synthetic and natural fabrics.
Each garment is presented as an amalgam of invisible layers, heat-sealed pleats, and finishes that seem to reflect the moon in still water.
The coats are presented as protective capsules, designed for those who face non-stop days in an urban environment with unfriendly temperatures.
In contrast, fingerless gloves made from soft neoprene allow for manual freedom while retaining an almost architectural structure.
The trousers and skirts are presented as perfect combinations of recycled fabrics and hybrid fibres: some pleated and others straight-cut, with waistbands that hug the body without the need for brooches and traditional artifice.
Miyake‘s organic minimalism is seen in these pure, almost conceptual lines.
In their tops, Issey Miyake opts for lightness through pieces that seem to be painted with a single brushstroke, diagonal cuts, suggestive transparencies, and stitching that appear as veins full of life.
As accessories, accessories that defy normality: detachable brimmed hats, angular backpacks, and hexagonal scarves.
Creations that not only decorate but also provide firmness, mobility, and warmth.
In its new collection, Miyake is committed to design without limits, to his respect for form, to a discreet dialogue between the organic and the technified.
Each garment becomes a path towards a possible future: intimate, collaborative, designed for the human body and its rest.
Issey Miyake invites us to let ourselves be seduced by a collection that conveys a message of restrained hope: even in the most extreme cold of the coming months, the warmth of innovation and harmony can come to define how we show ourselves and, ultimately, how we live in the space we happen to inhabit.
