Pleats Please Issey Miyake’s SS26 Collection Keeps Up With Those on the Move
Always on the fold
Every new year is a chance to rewrite your style story. It’s the perfect opportunity to let go of what no longer fits and bring in pieces that feel like you. For those who value versatility and style that moves with you, Pleats Please Issey Miyake’s SS26 collection, Serendipity, arrives as a thoughtful answer.
This season, the line unfolds across four distinct series, each with its own character and appeal. From architectural folds that sculpt the form to prints that hint at whimsy, and lightweight layers that glide with ease through the day, Serendipity celebrates the thrill of sartorial reinvention.
The Monthly Colours: January series transforms the city into a living canvas, where light, shadow, and colour shift with every step. The buttoned cardigan is meticulously crafted with pleats folded before pressing, creating patterns that are at once architectural and unexpectedly lively. With six vibrant shades to choose from, each ensemble becomes an exercise in layering and colour exploration.
Meanwhile, the City Collage series is all about movement. Urban landscapes are distilled into three bold horizontal-pleated patterns, each piece deliberately defying conventional pattern matching. From the buttoned cardigan and round-neck dress to the long-sleeved tunic and asymmetrical skirt, every garment encourages surprising combinations, letting colour and texture intersect naturally, so you can create looks that feel fresh, modern, and unmistakably yours.
The City Frame series fuses the best of both worlds. Vertical pleats at the front meet horizontal pleats at the back, creating a tension between structure and flow that gives each piece its own presence. Generous folds of fabric add volume and movement, giving cardigans, tunics, skirts, and dresses a fluid, flowing presence that feels as effortless as it is striking.
Rounding out the collection, the Skyline series channels the soaring energy of the city itself. Dramatic pleats on the sleeves and at the hem of pants echo the vertical lines of skyscrapers, creating shapes that move with every step. Offered in three understated shades—grey, black, and blue—each piece lets you make an impression naturally, as if the city itself is part of your outfit.
