Issey Miyake passed away August 5th in a Tokyo hospital from cancer he had been battling for some time. He pioneered a stylistic vision that translated his thinking into a flowing, concrete aesthetic, combining heritage and hi-tech in recognizable fabrics such as pleating, and was able to maintain a constant sense of balance between avant-garde tailoring, eastern tradition, and technological experimentation. Shapes and materials were his obsession.
