Issey Miyake FW26
Issey Miyake’s Fall Winter 2026 menswear collection was presented during Paris Men’s Fashion Week at the Collège des Bernardins, a setting that matched the collection’s minimalism. The atmosphere was calm and contemplative, reinforced by the slow, measured movement of the models. Rather than relying on spectacle, the show communicated through clarity and stillness, allowing the garments to speak for themselves.
Form was the center of the collection. Long, fluid silhouettes recalled robe-like shapes, creating a sculptural presence that moved gently with the body. Movement came from construction rather than decoration, as fabrics and cuts were engineered to respond subtly as the wearer walked. This ongoing dialogue between fashion, art, and technology remained present, but never overemphasized.
A muted, atmospheric palette supported the reflective tone of the show, evoking twilight calm. Technical elements were purposeful and adaptable, including adjustable panels and foldable details that introduced versatility without complexity. In a season defined by excess, Issey Miyake stood apart through restraint, precision, and a quiet confidence rooted in wearability and thoughtful design.
