pleats please issey miyake

Launched in 1993 by the visionary Japanese designer Issey Miyake, Pleats Please is a revolutionary line born from years of textile research. The brand’s core identity is its unique “garment pleating” process, where clothes are cut and sewn first, then permanently pleated using heat-press technology. This innovative method, originally developed for ballet costumes to allow freedom of movement, results in pieces that are lightweight, wrinkle-proof, and machine-washable. The line was Miyake’s answer to creating universal, functional clothing as accessible as a t-shirt and jeans, but with an avant-garde and artistic character.
