The Evolution of A-POC: A Fabric's Journey Through Art and Innovation

In a world filled with endless possibilities, it's often the smallest sparks that ignite the most remarkable journeys. Look at Issey Miyake for example, who began a fashion revolution with a single thread, a tiny fragment of cloth that would go on to reshape the industry's entire perception of clothing.

Now, you have the opportunity to explore the evolution of A-POC, an innovative garment, through a unique installation nestled in the heart of Paris at Hôtel du Grand Veneur.

A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE: So the Journey Continues is not just about fashion; it's a celebration of art in all forms. It reveals the power of innovative garments to accompany musicians, as evidenced in a documentary showcasing the brand's collaboration with conductor Michiyoshi Inoue and his orchestra, demonstrating how even the most unexpected materials can harmonise to create beautiful sounds. Another part pays homage to the interplay between craftsmanship and digital art through a visionary collaboration with the artist Tatsuo Miyajima, who breathes life into digital numbers on fabric thanks to the exquisite techniques of artisans in Kyoto. Finally, it celebrates artistic fusion with Tadanori Yokoo, whose printed artworks on garments reshape the human form and redefine its silhouette.

Through the lens of A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE's designs, the installation offers an exciting journey into the boundless potential of fabrics and creative innovation.
