The Oblist Irving Penn regards the work of Issey Miyake | Interiors & Architecture Books | Art Books

For more than ten years, there has been an extraordinary collaboration between Irving Penn, one of the great photographers of the century, and designer Issey Miyake, one of the few figures who has brought clothing design into the realm of art. “Penn’s photographs allow me to see my own designs,” says Miyake. 

Miyake’s striking shapes and textures have provided Penn with subjects that reflect both a primitive tribal beauty and the most futuristic fashion. As the century draws to a close, the barriers that traditionally separated East and West are diminishing. The sources of inspiration for both artists are global, ranging from Africa to Miyake’s Japan. This book is the culmination of a significant period in their creative lives.
