Issey Miyake 1985 Silk-Wool Wrap Skirt
An early Issey Miyake piece from 1985, crafted from a fine blend of wool and silk in a muted charcoal grey. The addition of 20% silk lends the soft wool jersey a subtle lustre and a smooth, refined surface, while helping to maintain its fluid drape. The skirt features an overlapping wrap construction, secured by a series of fabric-covered buttons along the waist. Rarely seen in Miyake's early 1980s work, this fastening arrangement allows the waist and hip proportions to be adjusted, with the overlapping panels creating an understated interplay of structure and movement. The softly draped silhouette falls naturally around the body, offering both freedom of movement and an elegant, elongated line. Remarkably versatile in its simplicity, the skirt can be worn with boots or flats and styled across seasons. A quietly distinctive example of Miyake's early exploration of textile innovation and adaptable garment construction.
