Narrow vertical pleats create considerable texture and volume, allowing the fabric to move and change shape beautifully when worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe skirt has an \u003cb\u003easymmetrical handkerchief-style hem\u003c\/b\u003e, with individual sections falling to different lengths and forming long pointed panels around the lower edge rather than a conventional straight hem. At its longest point, the skirt measures approximately 37 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waist is fully \u003cb\u003eelasticized\u003c\/b\u003e, measuring approximately 25 inches unstretched and extending to approximately 38 inches at maximum stretch. Although the flexible construction allows some variation in fit, the skirt is labelled a size Small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original labels identify the skirt as \u003cb\u003eIssey Miyake main line\u003c\/b\u003e, made in Japan, style \u003cb\u003eIM69-FG911\u003c\/b\u003e, size S and 100% polyester. The product code and label format are consistent with 1990s Issey Miyake production, with the first numeral in the product code indicating a year ending in 6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, the skirt retains a separate original caution label stating that the garment is \u003cb\u003enot permanently pleated\u003c\/b\u003e and should not be steam ironed. This distinguishes it from the permanently heat-set pleating associated with \u003cb\u003ePleats Please\u003c\/b\u003e. This is an \u003cb\u003eIssey Miyake main-line pleated design\u003c\/b\u003e, rather than a Pleats Please garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe asymmetric construction and shifting pleated panels give the skirt the sculptural quality and sense of movement for which Miyake's work of this period is particularly admired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that the AI model posing the dress is for illustrative purposes only - please rely on the other photos for real world representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner: Issey Miyake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine: Issey Miyake main line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate: 1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: IM69-FG911\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabelled size: S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine vertical pleating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsymmetrical handkerchief-style hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElasticized waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheer, lightweight and fluid construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePleats are not permanently set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot Pleats Please\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaist: 25\" unstretched; stretches to approximately 38\" maximum\u003cbr\u003eLength: Approximately 37\" to the longest point\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the waist is elasticized, the skirt may accommodate a range of measurements, but was designed and labelled as a size Small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn very good condition with no pronounced wear, tears, soiling, staining or odour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wonderful pleated skirt by avant-garde Japanese designer \u003cb\u003eIssey Miyake\u003c\/b\u003e and a striking addition to a collection of vintage Japanese or archival designer fashion.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poppy's Vintage Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67605361655913,"sku":null,"price":360.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/1559\/files\/Issey-Miyake-Pleated-Skirt.jpg?v=1791409556","url":"https:\/\/www.poppysvintageclothing.com\/de\/products\/vintage-1996-issey-miyake-pleated-skirt-black-asymmetrical","provider":"Poppy's Vintage Clothing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
