With Satoshi Kondo continuing the legacy of the famous designer.
While there will never be another Issey Miyake, creative director Satoshi Kondo is keeping the label’s legacy alive through a combination of reverence for Miyake and his own passion for design. Put simply, he’s doing a great job. So when the brand returned to Paris Fashion Week, what appeared on the runway for Fall/Winter 2024 was a marriage of form and function.
This concept is nothing new in the world of Issey Miyake. The late designer was known, but also celebrated, for designing clothes that were sculptural in motion. Whether it was through layering, remixing proportions, or his signature draped fabrics, Miyake’s label has always been synonymous with unique form without sacrificing function. So for FW24, Kondo keeps the pulse on menswear, womenswear, and quintessentially genderless pieces.
From knits to wools and even blends, the collection included a range of sophisticated daywear and eveningwear. But even with its fluid design tempo, there was a subtlety to the wardrobe, with capes, wraps, trousers and oversized coats. They were elegant, yet still lived-in. That same ease extended to the smooth and ribbed knits, which took on a more abstract feel with long sleeves, relaxed knits and slightly flared trousers. But of course, some of the highlights of the collection were the layered, all-over drapery that closed the show in true Miyake fashion.
Check out the collection in the gallery below and admire how the designer continues to preserve the founder's style.
