The new brand, A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE, launched today in New York at ISSEY MIYAKE / NEW YORK.&nbsp;

In a groundbreaking move, A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE makes its debut in the United States today, May 1st, 2024, at the <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/issey-miyake-iconic-career-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISSEY MIYAKE</a> flagship store in New York City. This launch marks the first time the innovative brand will be available to American consumers, promising a new era of interactive and boundary-pushing fashion.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, ISSEY MIYAKE / NEW YORK will host a special exhibition from May 1st through May 5th, 2024, providing an immersive experience into the brand's unique design philosophy and creative process. The exhibition will showcase the evolution of A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE, inviting visitors to engage with the brand's ethos of collaboration between creators and wearers.&nbsp;

A-POC, pioneered by<a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion/issey-miyake-pfw-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Issey Miyake</a> in 1998, revolutionized the traditional approach to clothing design by introducing a novel concept where the wearer actively participates in the creation process. Building upon this foundation, A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE pushes the boundaries even further, fostering a dynamic dialogue between fabric and wearer, and expanding the possibilities of design with each interaction.
At the heart of A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE lies a unique manufacturing system that utilizes computer programming and cutting-edge technology to give individualized instructions to each thread during the fabric-making process. This meticulous approach results in the creation of a single piece of cloth imbued with all the necessary information for cutting and sewing, empowering wearers to customize their garments according to their preferences.

By allowing wearers to actively participate in the final stages of design, A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE nurtures a symbiotic relationship between creator and wearer, fostering a deeper connection and understanding of the clothing we wear. This innovative system not only democratizes fashion but also opens up new avenues for creativity and self-expression.
Led by the visionary design team under the guidance of Yoshiyuki Miyamae, A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE is committed to pushing the boundaries of the A-POC system even further. Through collaborations with various professions and industries, the brand seeks to explore new possibilities and uncover fresh perspectives, epitomizing the spirit of innovation and discovery encapsulated in the word "ABLE."
