Hailing from Issey Miyake’s AW1991 collection, this now-famous jacket has been rendered inextricable from the striking photo which legendary photographer Irving Penn made it the subject of. Penn and Miyake collaborated together numerous times throughout their careers, with Penn displaying a unique aptitude for capturing the sculptural qualities of Miyake’s work. His image of this coat displayed a completely-sheathed body wearing the parka, arms parked on their waist, where the coat sits fully cinched before flaring out towards both the shoulders and hips. The silhouette is striking in and of itself, but the loose drawstrings and embroidery bestow an uneasy, impressionist-like quality upon the composition, creating one of the lasting images of Issey’s legendary stint at his eponymous label.
The coat itself features an oversized hood, alongside the aforementioned embroidery, and an asymmetric hem.
