Administrative history
Issey Miyake (1938-2022) established his design studio in Tokyo in 1970. The men's collection was launched in 1976 and was given its own identity in 1978. Miyake menswear was designed by Naoki Takizawa from 1983 until 2007 when Dai Fujiwara became head designer for the company. For the Spring Summer 2012 collection the menswear label was rebranded as Issey Miyake Men, it was designed by Yusuke Takahasi from 2014 until January 2020. In July 2020 it was announced that the collection would be discontinued, though their HOMME PLISSÉ Issey Miyake line would still be produced.
