Issey Miyake's Paris show debuted avant-garde, motion-guiding clothing using innovative materials and sculptural designs.

At Paris Fashion Week, Issey Miyake's Spring/Summer 2026 show presented a conceptual collection where clothing appeared to guide the wearer’s movement and posture. Held at the Centre Pompidou, the display featured monochrome tailoring, sculptural forms, and innovative designs like trousers with sleeve-like panels and one-piece wraps. Materials seemed to grow around the body, while unconventional openings and layered netting added to the sense of garments with autonomous agency. A live soundscape enhanced the impression of dynamic, living textiles. Under designer Satoshi Kondo, the show combined engineering, art, and performance, emphasizing garments that lead rather than follow the body, staying true to the brand’s legacy of material innovation.
