Issey Miyake is a Japanese house founded in April 1970, when Issey Miyake established Miyake Design Studio in Tokyo; it remains the group's independent parent company after the designer's death in 2022. The brand builds garments through textile engineering: heat-pressed Pleats Please pieces, A-POC single-thread construction, and triangle-tiled Bao Bao bags. Satoshi Kondo leads the womenswear runway line, while Homme Plissé covers pleated menswear and was guest of honour at Pitti Uomo in June 2025. In November 2025 it released the 3D-knitted iPhone Pocket with Apple.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | very relaxed, tunic-like, with wide sleeves and little waist shaping | long body, frequently worn untucked | Sizing down one number is common unless you want the full volume the design intends. | medium |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | elastic-waist, relaxed to wide through the hip and thigh | long inseams that many shorter wearers have hemmed or cuff | The stretch waistband is forgiving, so pick by hip/thigh volume and expect to shorten the leg. | medium |
| Jackets | slightly large | unstructured and airy rather than tailored, with room for layering | regular to slightly long | Your normal number works over knitwear; size down if you want it to sit closer to the body. | low |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly large | boxy with dropped shoulders and a wide body | regular to long, often hitting low on the hip | Size 2 tends to read S/M and 3 M/L, so drop a number if you dislike a boxy silhouette. | medium |
Does Issey Miyake run big or small?
Issey Miyake fits slightly large. Take your usual numeric equivalent (2 ≈ S/M, 3 ≈ M/L) and size down one if you want anything close to a regular fit, since the pleats stretch generously. Most wearers find Issey Miyake, especially Homme Plissé, cuts on the roomy, sculptural side with elastic-waist and pleated pieces that stretch well beyond their nominal size, so the labelled Japanese number often wears larger than the equivalent Western letter size.
