Remembering the Fashion Created by Issey Miyake

Let's take a moment to commemorate the late Issey Miyake.


Born in Hiroshima, Japan, Issey Miyake was a fashion designer who was known for his collection of clothes, perfumes, and colognes. At age 84, he passed away from liver cancer on August 5th, 2022.



Miyake's work from this past year includes SPRING SUMMER 2022 and AUTUMN WINTER 2022/23. Speaking of his work, here are some times during this past decade when Hollywood celebrities wore his clothes.


In 2011, architect and long-time fan of Miyake, Zaha Hadid, wore his black bulky coat with fabric seemingly akin to wrapping paper.

At the 2013 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards ceremony, Mary-Kate Olsen wore a black gown by Miyake.


At the 2014 red carpet premiere of Get On Up, Jill Scott also wore a black gown by Miyake.

At the 2015 red carpet screening of Into The Woods, Meryl Streep wore a long-sleeved brown gown by Miyake.

At her 2015 Rock in Rio performance, Rihanna wore Miyake's yellow tent suit paired with a black tank top.

During a shopping day in 2019, Kim Kardashian wore a black and green top by Miyake to go with her Gucci Tom Ford leather pants.


At the 2021 red carpet premiere of Netflix's Black & White, actor Jaden Michael looked fresh and clean in a white pleated suit by Miyake.

Lastly, in 2022, model Paloma Elsesser recently wore a coffee-colored 1995 archival look by Miyake.
