Issey Miyake Pleats Please,
a shirt top from the vibrant and beautiful Frosty Forest series, presented in the 2023 Fall/Winter collection.
Based on gorgeous colors like pink and orange, it features a captivating hand-painted print that feels botanical yet somehow abstract.
A pullover shirt style with a collar. The slightly open neckline gives it a light, spring-like feel.
It is an art piece you can wear—the garment itself is a flat piece of fabric, but once you put your arms through, it takes on a uniquely striking three-dimensional form.
The pleated material, which utilizes the crispness of polyester, is a truly wonderful garment that conforms to the wearer's individual body shape.
This long-sleeve version is particularly eye-catching, as the shape of the sleeves looks even more unique with every movement.
I can speak from personal experience when I say that once you wear it, you’ll truly be hooked.
I have witnessed the radiant expressions of many girls in Europe the first time they put on Pleats Please, even those who had never worn it before.
Created in the 1990s from designer Issey Miyake’s desire to make clothes that were easier to wear in daily life yet still elegant, it remains an essential item today, with new colors released every month, beloved across generations from the youth to grandmothers.
The polyester with its unique pleated treatment is lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and can be easily washed in a home washing machine.
It’s convenient for travel, too; even in a suitcase packed to the brim, it’s as thin as paper and can be tucked in effortlessly.
Whether for casual or formal occasions, it fits perfectly—this is the true charm of Pleats Please. It goes exceptionally well with things like denim, too.
And because it is stretchy, you can wear it for years even if your body shape changes. It is packed with the reasons why it is so beloved by the grandmother generation as well.
Having encountered and touched this piece from a recent collection, I realized that, just like the 90s originals, the material and everything else remain unchanged, crafted with a dedication to Made in Japan quality. This is something you can wear for a lifetime.
