Description
An authentic vintage Issey Miyake cardigan, produced in Japan during the late 1980s, identifiable by the early Issey Miyake woven label and original Japanese care tag. This piece showcases Miyake’s experimental approach to textile manipulation, featuring a richly textured, crinkled wool surface—a hallmark of his pre-Pleats Please era, where material innovation and garment structure were prioritized over trend-driven design. A hauntingly beautiful relic of high-fashion deconstructionism. This Issey Miyake archival cardigan is a visceral exploration of "Wabi-Sabi"—finding perfection in the imperfect. Crafted in Japan, the garment features a complex, multi-dimensional "Mirage" textured wool weave that creates a kinetic, crinkled landscape across the silhouette. This specific specimen is for the elite curator who understands that fashion is a living entity. The organic distressing and pinholes are not mere flaws; they are the "Patina of Time," offering a raw, deconstructed aesthetic that defines the peak of 80s/90s Japanese avant-garde philosophy. ⸻ THE ARCHIVAL VALUE Issey Miyake’s textile engineering remains unrivaled. This piece captures the "Soul of the Fabric," utilizing a sophisticated wool-blend manipulation that creates architectural depth. It’s a mandatory acquisition for collectors who treat their wardrobe as a private museum of Japanese design history. ⸻ DETAILS ERA: 1980s / 1990s Archival Peak Identity: Issey Miyake (Main Line) Material: 55% Wool, 35% Acrylic, 10% Nylon Origin: Made in Japan Aesthetic: Deconstructed Luxury / Avant-Garde / Wabi-Sabi ⸻ MEASUREMENTS (Flat Lay) Tag size: S (Small) Chest (pit to pit): 23 inches Length (shoulder to hem): 24.5 inches ⸻ CONDITION: THE "WABI-SABI" MANIFESTO Authentic Vintage "Distressed" Condition.
