1976 (textile); ca. 2003 (shirt) · silk, mother-of-pearl · Costume Institute
Issey Miyake’s ongoing collaboration with artist and graphic designer, Tadanori Yokoo, on textile designs and printed material began in the late 1970s. Miyake first applied Yokoo’s brightly-colored collages, inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints and illustrations from European and American literature and contemporary art, to clothing in 1976. The Yokoo print “Paradise” on this shirt was used in Miyake's 1976 and 1978 collections and advertising campaigns.
