Under Naoki Takizawa’s quietly subversive hand, Issey Miyake’s Autumn/Winter 2002 collection reads like a tactile manifesto—equal parts garment and gesture. Known for dressing Empress Michiko and collaborating with Wong Kar-wai and Helmut Lang alike, Takizawa approached the runway with architectural restraint and poetic resolve.
AW02 embraced imperfection as design logic: patchworked fabric scraps met uninterrupted yardage, creating silhouettes that exposed their own making. The seams, folds, and joins weren’t hidden—they were the point. A study in process over polish, in memory stitched into matter.
