Another encounter with Pleats Please. It’s fate—I’m so happy.
From the 1997 AW series, a black long-sleeve turtleneck.
It’s an adorable piece with a small floral print just on the sleeves.
Even though it’s a flat, simple piece of fabric, it forms such a unique, sculptural shape once you put it on; it’s an art piece you can wear.
It is truly a wonderful garment that makes the most of the pleating process and the crispness of the polyester material.
Long-sleeve tops, in particular, are eye-catching because the shape of the sleeves looks so distinct.
I’m the same way—once you wear them, you really get hooked.
Created in the 1990s from designer Issey Miyake’s desire to make clothes that were easier to wear in daily life yet still elegant, and with new colors released every month even today,
they are loved across generations as essential items, from young people to grandmothers.
The uniquely pleated polyester is light, wrinkle-resistant, and can even be washed in your home washing machine.
They are convenient for travel, too; even in a suitcase packed to the brim, they are as thin as paper and can be tucked away anywhere.
Whether for casual or formal occasions, the way they fit perfectly into any scene is a charm unique to Pleats Please. They also go exceptionally well with denim.
Plus, because of their elasticity, you can wear them for years even if your body shape changes. It’s packed with the reasons why it’s loved by the grandmother generation too.
1997 was the year that produced highly regarded archives, such as the Guest Artist series featuring geometric patterns and prints of works by artists like Araki, but
this is a rare archive piece from the early 90s, where non-solid colors and patterns become immediately difficult to find.
You can wear this for a lifetime.
Please also take a look at the 97 Spring/Summer Pleats Please series I introduced this summer.
