Notes:From Issey Miyake’s Spring/Summer 2001 collection, this rare maxi dress is crafted in a lightweight blue jersey printed with a vibrant, Indian-inspired motif. Its most striking feature is the inflatable hem structure hidden within the full skirt, designed to subtly expand with movement, creating shifting, sculptural silhouettes as you walk. True to Miyake’s innovative spirit, the dress plays with volume, weightlessness, and motion, embodying his fascination with the body in motion and fabric as architecture. Effortless to wear yet visually bold, this piece merges global textile influences with future-facing Japanese design. A standout archival treasure from one of the brand’s most poetic and technically experimental seasons.
