Issey Miyake’s spring-summer 2012 collection looks cool and at the same time gives feel of salwar, it’s a Japanese label which once was on fashion’s cutting edge, but after the departure of its founder it has failed to duplicate its earlier successes. In a bid make new inroads among young consumers, the brand has recently brought in a new young creative director who comes up with this collection which has resemblance with salwar, commonly worn in Pakistan.
The creative director thinks it’s chic, easy-breezy boxy button-down shirts and cropped sarouel pants are good to wear at a tropical holiday, and nubby sweater vests knit with inverted rainbows looked ideal for a weekend getaway. It was presented in a fashion show in Paris where as it remains to be seen whether this new fashion will give boost to the sales. No doubt, it is nice and comfy and hopes to be a hit. Good luck Issey Miyake.
