Issey Miyake: Technically aged
 
Issey Miyake's Dai Fujiwara gave his collection a lived-in look with arty wrinkles, mosaic textures, paper knits and the Noribuse technique, in which pieces are glued before dyeing for a cracked surface. Fujiwara was inspired by Turkey, where he found a rainbow of blues (Turkish, Iznik and Persian) which he mixed with bright pink and red taken from  the country's national flower, the tulip. Jackets in a sultan's crossover style, sport an asymmetrical print inset which looks like a tie floating over the front.
