| http://collections.aucklandmuseum.com/ontology/core/researcherComments | Fashion in Motion is a series of live catwalk events presented at the V&A. Featuring some of the greatest designers of our time, Fashion in Motion brings catwalk couture to a wider audience by modelling it against the beautiful backdrop of the Museum. Pleats Please collections by Issey Miyake were first launched in 1993. Made from single pieces of high quality 100% polyester fabric, the innovation behind Pleats Please is that clothes are first cut and sewn together two-and-a-half to three times larger than the finished garments. Individual pieces are hand-fed into a heat press sandwiched between two sheets of paper. The garment then emerges with permanent pleats. This industrial process allows both texture and form to be created at the same time. Vertical, horizontal and zig-zag pleating is used to create varying effects and architectural shapes. Pleats Please clothes are very functional and practical; the garments store easily, travel well, require no ironing and can be machine-washed and dried within minutes. Shapes are simple, colours diverse. A set of standard colours is available each season, to which are added seasonal colours and prints. http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/f/fashion-in-motion-issey-miyake/ |
| http://collections.aucklandmuseum.com/ontology/core/researcherComments | This dress was designed by Yasumasa Morimura (born 1951) for Issey Miyake 'Pleats Please', 'Guest Artist' series No.1 Autumn/Winter 1996. Issey Miyake (born 1938) is one of the best known Japanese fashion designers. Miyake established the Miyake Design Studio in Tokyo in 1970 after serving an apprenticeship in Europe and New York. He is a leading international fashion designer whose garments are often inspired by aspects of Japanese tradition, culture and aesthetics. From 1996 to 1998 Issey Miyake invited the four artists; Yasumasa Morimura, Nobuyoshi Araki, Tim Hawkinson and Cai Guo Qiang to collaborate with him in the creation of prints for his 'Pleats Please' line of clothing. Miyake's aim with the Guest Artist series was to bring to 'Pleats Please' 'freshness, a sense of discovery and renewal with continuity'. Miyake chose artists who often use the body in their own works as a conceptual entity. The first was Yasumasa Morimura, who is known for cleverly constructed multimedia images in which he appropriates and transforms painted works which are the basis of historical models of Western art. He often inserts an image of himself into his work, taking on the role of the female subject of a famous painting. In 1996, he and Miyake created a series of five dresses on which Morimura's printed image of his own body is joined to that of an idealised, neo-classical beauty from the oil painting 'La source' by the French artist Jean-Auguste Ingres (1780-1867) in the collection of the Musèe d'Orsay, Paris. A superimposed, inverted image of Morimura, his hands clasped as if in prayer and his head and torso draped in red net, fuses with Ingres' famous beauty. The resultant art work marries disparate images of male and female, the Orient and the West, the naked body with the clothed, in an interplay of historical art and contemporary art and fashion. The piece forms part of The Gene Sherman Collection of Japanese fashion and accessories, with a focus on the work of Issey Miyake, Yohji Yanamoto, Comme des Garçons and the Japanese-Australian designer Akira Isogawa, formed from the mid 1980s to 2004. The Collection reflects Sherman's individual style as well as her appreciation of Japanese design. Dr Gene Sherman is Director of Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation (SCAF) in Paddington, Sydney. Its predecessor, Sherman Galleries, founded in 1986, was one of Australia's major commercial art galleries until its closure in 2007. As director of Sherman Galleries, Dr Sherman organised many exhibitions of contemporary art from Australia and the Asia-Pacific region and has played an important role connecting art and artists in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Dr Gene Sherman was a trustee of the Powerhouse Museum from 1995 to 2001 and special advisor to the Museum from 2002 to 2004. Born in South Africa, Sherman lives in Sydney with her husband Brian Sherman. Ref. Mitchell, Louise, The Cutting Edge.
