Issey Miyake – Body & Soul in Cloth Rare 1981 exhibition/program publication

sey Miyake – Body & Soul in Cloth
Rare 1981 exhibition/program publication produced for Japan Day in Amsterdam under the auspices of the Holland Art Directors Club. A beautifully designed early Issey Miyake piece documenting the visionary designer’s groundbreaking concepts around body, fabric, movement, and technology. Features striking black-and-white photography, sculptural garment imagery, and conceptual texts outlining Miyake’s influential approach to fashion as art and architecture.

This scarce softcover booklet captures Miyake at a pivotal early moment, just before his international explosion in the 1980s. An essential collectible for fans of avant-garde fashion, Japanese design, Rei Kawakubo/Yohji Yamamoto era fashion culture, and conceptual art publishing.

Condition:
Good vintage condition with visible wear, rubbing, creasing, handling marks, and light edge wear consistent with age. Interior remains attractive and highly presentable. Please review photos carefully for condition details.

A tough-to-find ephemeral Issey Miyake item — far rarer than later mass-market exhibition catalogues.
