Issey Miyake’s fashion sculptures blur the line between clothing and art

Associated Press  

PARIS — The Paris Fashion Week collection felt soft and elemental, as if blown by the wind, and deceptively simple.

Designed around the idea of a single piece of cloth, the collection continued Miyake’s legacy of transformation — garments that shift, adapt and invite the wearer to complete them. Inspired by Erwin Wurm’s performative sculptures, the show at Carrousel du Louvre saw models folding, bending, and reshaping their clothes, turning dressing into an act of creation.
