Homme Plissé Issey Miyake

With its ground-breaking garment pleating technique, Homme Plissé Issey Miyake challenges the way we think about casualwear—offering pieces that are equal parts art and function. Founded in 2013 as the menswear iteration of the well-established Pleats Please womenswear line, Homme Plissé seeks to sculpt menswear classics into pieces that are crease-resistant, fast-drying and perfectly structured.

Issey Miyake was a Japanese fashion designer with the forward-thinking vision that “there is hope in design.” Approaching everything with an ethos of research and experimentation, his proprietary pleats were created in a way never seen before: instead of using pre-pleated fabric, the garment is cut oversized first, and later pressed, shrunk and textured.

Taking specific interest in the space created between clothing and the body, Miyake’s pleat concept creates dynamic garments that move with you—almost as if they aren’t there at all. Designed for the pace of modern day life, ironing is a thing of the past: crease-resistant trousers and pants maintain their shape wherever life takes you, without a wrinkle in sight. Classic summer shorts become dynamic and structured in equal measure, while the label’s blazers and shirts deliver self-expression and versatility with every pleat.
