Issey Miyake’s Pre Fall 2016 collection was inspired by starry skies and galaxies, giving it an almost psychedelic effect. The clothes are in various shades of deep blue, burgandy, and jet black, and made with fabric specifically designed to show images, using chromatic layers, that seem to have been captured from a space ship. The “Baked Stretch” technology was used last season as well, and is obtained by superimposing colours in the inside of folded pleats. In the series of photo-jaquard, the “Steam Stretch” effect produced images that appeared to taken from Nasa rockets. The effect is, instead, created by the Suminagashi technique, or the “marbling” of images. Along with the galactic references are a series of psychedelic patterns applied to classic pleats, which accentuate the clothing’s minimalist architectural construction, special effects in themselves.
