This pleated design is a long-anticipated project I dreamed of bringing to life ever since designing the ISSEY scarf a decade ago. The crisp lines of this architectural fabric easily transform into a wondrous piece of wearable art that adapts with your movement, allowing the wearer to enjoy the fluidity and warmth of the bouncy pleats. Striking angles are enhanced visually with the gradual color transitions throughout to allure any curious eye.
