Pleats Please Issey Miyake Kombu Midi Dress

Pleats Please Issey Miyake is known for finding inspiration in the unexpected when designing its pieces. The name itself - Kombu - already hints at what influenced the designer with this midi dress: kelp and its majestic underwater swaying. Much like the asymmetry and multiple angles of the algae's blades, the precise pleats of this style combine vertical and diagonal lines to resemble their movement.
