Inspired by the growth rings of trees, the new Ring Pleats technique transformed flat, concentric discs of pleated fabric into three-dimensional garments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technique opened the Paris runway in a live transformation that drew thunderous applause; Vogue described the presentation as a rare fashion moment, with the audience calling Miyamae back for another bow. This dress was shown on the runway in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly sculptural and reconfigurable, the dress can be expanded, compressed and shaped into dramatically different forms before collapsing back into a compact spiral. Retains its original circular Issey Miyake presentation box and Japanese retail tag. A particularly strong collector’s piece, combining a runway-documented design with one of Miyamae’s most distinctive technical innovations for Issey Miyake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutumn\/Winter 2014 “Rhythmatic Forest”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing Pleats construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSculptural, reconfigurable silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePleated construction expands to approximately 60\" (5 ft!) across when fully fanned open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunway-documented design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal circular presentation box with tree ring graphic print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition details:\u003c\/strong\u003e New with tags, unworn.
