With his revolutionary “A Piece of Cloth” (A-POC) line, Issey Miyake realized his lifelong aim of making garments based on the Japanese principle of constructing kimonos from a single bolt of cloth. A democratic approach to self-tailoring mass-produced garments, A-POC draws the customer into the act of creation and effectively materializes utopian ideas of a seasonless, genderless, wasteless, and sizeless garment. Produced from machine-knit tubes of fabric based on the kimono’s basic cylindrical structure, the garment can be cut—without unraveling—along preknitted, dotted seams, as the wearer wishes. This dark blue example is an uncut length from a larger roll.
