At the intersection of fashion, photography, and graphic design, Issey Miyake’s clothing becomes the starting point for a collaboration with photographer Irving Penn and graphic designer Ikko Tanaka. Rather than conventional fashion photography, their work explores imagery that foreground form, gesture, and abstraction. Penn’s reduced visual language and Tanaka’s clear poster designs lend Miyake’s creations striking visual depth. Rooted in trust, creative freedom, and a shared sensitivity to material, silhouette, and cultural nuance, this transcontinental exchange between Tokyo and New York stands as a remarkable example of creative understanding.
