A special exhibition, “Ronan Bouroullec: On Creative Session”, will be held at 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Gallery 3 from Friday, October 25 through Sunday, November 24.

The HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE Autumn Winter 2024/25 collection Immersed in the Wilds of Creativity looks at the exploratory approach behind the brand’s creative process. With this approach, for the first time the brand’s design team engaged in a collaborative project, known as a “creative session”, with designer/artist Ronan Bouroullec.

In the creative session, the design team immersed themselves in the world of Bouroullec’s drawings where they explored elements of color, form, and the movement found in his pen strokes, integrating them into clothes-making.

This exhibition looks at the background of the creative session to examine the exchange between the design team and Bouroullec, through exhibits of both drawings and clothes-making. Demonstrating how the garments were developed from idea to realization, it presents the drawings in forms of both originals and videos, and the garments grouped by techniques, with prototypes and videos of their manufacturing. In addition, a film on Bouroullec reflecting on this creative session illustrates how the design team engaged with the poetry found in his drawings and translated it into various clothing designs.

This creative session is a process through which the design team and Bouroullec explored the core nature and synergy between each other’s work. What has become clear—over the course of this adventure to create something unprecedented—is the connections between, if not the integration of, the two creative fields at play.
