 Textile design by Tadanori Yokoo Japanese

Not on view

Issey Miyake’s collaboration with artist and graphic designer Tadanori Yokoo on textile designs and printed material began in the late 1970s, when Yokoo designed invitations in his signature Pop Art style for Miyake’s Paris fashion shows. Miyake first applied Yokoo’s brightly colored, sometimes psychedelic collages to clothing in 1976. Inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints as well as illustrations from European and American literature and contemporary art, the Yokoo print Paradise appears on this shirt, and was used in Miyake’s 1976 and 1978 collections and advertising campaigns.
