HOMME PLISSE ISSEY MIYAKE has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2017 collection. This season, elements of traditional Japanese culture are expressed in a modern yet sporty way. In addition to the "BASICS" series, which offers basic colors like black and light gray that are easy to incorporate into everyday wear, the brand's Monthly Color collection features muted hues inspired by Japan's ancient traditional colors. Architectural pleats and sporty shapes incorporate a distinctly Japanese essence through the use of exquisitely nuanced blues and greens, such as indigo and light blue, which have long been cultivated in Japan, as well as accent colors within tone-on-tone gradations. The "TAILORED LINE" series features tailored jackets and sets inspired by the patterns of common people's kimonos depicted in ukiyo-e prints. Dyed colors and stripes are incorporated into hand-drawn designs, enhancing the Japanese atmosphere. "PLEATS BOTTOM" offers pants in various silhouettes and lengths featuring the brand's signature pleats. The highly stretchable material is flexible enough to accommodate bold movements. The lineup also includes garment pleated cut-and-sew tops and polo shirts, as well as drop-shoulder pullovers and tank tops with unique round stripes. The extensive range of innerwear is one of this season's defining features. Don't miss the accessories, including pleated ties, caps, and bags. In addition to the unique comfort and stretch of pleats, which make them light and easy to wear, the washable and quick-drying properties make these pants ideal for the coming season. Combining presence and functional beauty, they are poised to become a new type of everyday wear for the modern man.
