The enchanting beauty of French antique textiles inspired by Indian chintz In the late 17th century, Europeans enjoyed a boom of imported Indian textiles. Chintz was first used for interior fabrics such as curtains and bed covers, and later people gradually began incorporating Indian chintz into the latest fashions. In some places in France, producers learned the process of making these beautiful printed textiles, eventually adding original patterns and becoming domestic production hubs themselves.

This book reveals the beauty of French antique textiles by showcasing many patterns from three museums: Mulhouse, Toiles de Jouy and Souleiado. Most patterns in this book were produced in the early era of production in France, but some are selected from the latest collections available today. Readers can discover the transition of beautiful printed textiles from East to West as well as from the 17th century to today.

A look inside the collaboration that produced one of the world’s most innovative brand concepts Focusing on Miyake’s innovative fashion brand, ‘132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE’, and Miyake’s extended project of interior lighting products, IN-EI, this 112-page bilingual (JPN/ ENG) guide introduces Miyake’s work in an accessible, portable format.

The ‘132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE’ brand concept is unveiled, followed by 10 patterns from this fashion line featured alongside development sketches and examples of the finished pieces. The brand concept with Miyake’s words and number of photographs by Nobuyoshi Araki are also included, making this title a treasured resource for fans.

About ‘132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE’ ‘132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE’, developed by Issey Miyake and his Reality Lab. team, is both a new label and a new evolution of ‘A Piece Of Cloth’. The process by which the clothing is made is groundbreaking, using a mathematical algorithm: first, a variety of three-dimensional shapes are conceived in collaboration with a computer scientist; then, these shapes are folded into two dimensional forms with pre-set cutting lines that determine their finished shape; and finally, they are heat-pressed, to yield folded shirts, skirts, dresses etc.

These clothes are significant not only for the process by which they were made but because they are also made using recycled PET products, sometimes in combination with other recycled fibers.

‘132 5. ISSEY MIYAKE’is Miyake’s new creative challenge based on the ideas of ‘Regeneration and Re-creation’ and a continuation of his perpetual search for new ways by which to make ‘clothes that bring joy and happiness to wearers’.
