Issey Miyake Iceland Landscape Dress Runway, 2018

Fashion is notorious for its fast-paced production schedule. After a visit to Iceland, Issey Miyake compiled a serene collection that embodied a “getting back to nature” feeling. As a designer who is all about the technological, the Spring/Summer 2018 collection provided a new spin on the Miyake aesthetic while still holding true to Miyake’s signature artistic commentary on form, fabric, and the wearer.

Done in a polyester fabric, this dress captures the essence of an Icelandic landscape in cool spring tones of sky blue, icy blues, light moss, and yellow ochre. Not only is the dress visually captivating, it offers a bold textural element as a slightly raised tetrahedral motif covers the entire dress with areas of cotton fringe surrounding the V-neckline and the lower half of the dress.

From a somewhat dropped armhole, the dress flares into a soft A-line at a midi length with an organic hemline. Graceful and breathtaking this Miyake dress is easy to wear and a perfect blend between the modern and natural. It can be seen in the featured images on the that season’s runway.
