No-one can say with certainty that winter is over, but the upcoming spring-summer is really taking the lead in store. It’s probably true that we aren’t able to observe the absolute sense of timing shown by other stores; we are slower, our change of season is not as prompt, and yet, it is difficult to think of collections that lend themselves to on-going consideration, new combinations and even the outdoor temperatures, as old or already seen and re-seen…
Nonetheless, putting aside our timeless devotion to each individual item making up our catalogue, and despite the date that it was included, we can’t deny the enthusiasm we feel with our new arrivals.
You can be part of the pulsating rhythm we are experiencing, the various landscapes between the photographic sets, dressing and organising of our girls, Benedetta, Amanda and Katia…A peep backstage, giving advance warning of the new season that has almost arrived!
The online catalogue is just about to be updated with the new Spring-Summer collections now in the shop. But while awaiting milder temperatures, let’s go on a trip to find out more about one of this season’s items. Something with a decidedly ingenious, original build.
The down jacket in the photo comes from the Issey Miyake cutting-edge textile laboratories and, through umpteen experiments, is an absolute novelty. Unlike those customary, foreseeable squares, the coat’s padding is sophisticated balls creating that bubble wrap effect, the well-known protective packaging used to transport fragile items.
Each ball is sewn singly with elasticized thread increasing the garment’s containing capacity.
Can you just imagine how complicated it is to repeat the same padded module umpteen times?
The line, simple on the whole, leaves room for the three-dimensional volume. The high thermal properties, a result of how the fabric is worked, coat length, weight, just about non-existent, and its innovative design can all be considered the garment’s special features. But let’s not forget details and comfort typical of the Miyake Maison. Like the neck, with its inner buttons, from which you can remove the wool and ausetex part.
The ideal coat for any winter temperature. A pleasant, useful alternative to those serial, cumbersome, seasonal down jackets.
