Issey Miyake Pleated Red Maxi Skirt 1990s

Issey Miyake is acclaimed for his awe-inspiring avant-garde designs that frequently make use of pleating and interesting plays with space and volume. While Issey Miyake continues to create incredible sculptural designs, the 1990s boasted some of his most iconic work. This 90s skirt is made from a cherry red micro-pleated fabric that has been assembled along a spiral with an overall pencil silhouette.

From a thin waistband, the skirt gently hugs the hips and then begins its spiral descent. The angle of the seaming paired with the pleats showcases a soft gleam that elevates this skirt’s futuristic aesthetic. The skirt falls to a maxi length at the ankles, where the fabric continues to spiral with a subtle twist at the back of the hem that adds a naturalistic feel to the design. Done all in red with a minimal design, this skirt is an easy yet creative way to add an element of interest to an outfit for almost any occasion.
