The SHIKAKU at ISSEY MIYAKE SHINJUKU presents a special exhibition, “CHIFFON TWIST: An Open-Ended Dialogue” by ISSEY MIYAKE.

We link stars in the sky, tracing out familiar objects and animals.
We observe the changing colors of twilight, naming them by words vivid and diverse.
In shapes and colors that expand before us,
Our imagination finds its wings.

Associative thinking opens doors for the creative mind,
Beyond them, extends an infinity of possibilities.

There are as many interpretations as there are people on earth.
Answers everywhere, branching endlessly.
Intended meanings can be differently construed.
What is intended is rarely what is inferred.
Yet the right answer need not be reached,
As long as we stay curious, fueling the desire to learn and communicate more.
Unexpected realizations and discoveries
Lead to excitement and sensations never felt before.

Such an open-ended dialogue brings about joy and moments of happiness.

From the organic forms and textures of CHIFFON TWIST,
between its rich folds and turns, begins a new creative journey.

CHIFFON TWIST is a series of tops, pleated and then twisted to give each piece a unique shape that adapts to the wearer’s body. The organic form of the folds and twists speaks to the beauty that lies in coincidence, as if it were formed in the natural world.

Experience the world of CHIFFON TWIST, along with the newly commissioned artwork created specially for the exhibition.
