Controlled deformation has always been an essential motif within Issey Miyake’s arsenal of tools, which he used to antithesize popular fashion. Miyake still practices this motif today, even in his most commercial endeavors. Take his commercially popular Bao Bao bag for instance, which features modular clunky appliqué detailing that weighs down the interior fabric to deform to the wearer’s body.
