Dress

fall/winter 1993–94 · polyester, leather · Costume Institute

Miyake’s coy pleated polyester dress, alternatively wrapping and unwrapping around the body with a wonderfully vegetal warp and irregularity, is topped by his leather harnesses from the shoulders. The dress could seem to be like wearing a sandwich board or a barrel.
