ISSEY MIYAKE MEN will release its "WATER WOOL" series on March 5th.

The items offered this time are characterized by the vivid blue gradation that appeared in the 15SS collection show. The stripes, which are said to be inspired by long, narrow white sand beaches, were created by Kyoto artisans using a combination of machine dyeing and handwork. A wide variety of items will be available, including jackets, pants, shirts, ponchos, scarves, hats, and belts.

The color palette consists of three colors. The vivid turquoise blue, like the surface of the sea bathed in sunlight, evokes a refreshing feeling, while the royal blue, reminiscent of the deep sea, creates a dandy look. This is complemented by black, perfect for evening wear.
