This item featured on the FW00 Runway from Naoki Takizawa’s third ever showing for Issey Miyake, Takizawa opted for a more utilitarian look than his two previous shows, placing a big emphasis on functionality. The runway was heavily inspired by the theme of travelling, & was Issey Miyake’s answer to other travel focused brands like Samsonite & Mandarina Duck.
Featuring ‘Modular Pack-Pockets’ which reverse to the outside hence the ‘X-RAY’ name. Composed of an extremely rigid Nylon Thinsulate Fabric that can literally stand up on its own. With pockets & harness straps dotted throughout the jacket to improve the garments practicality & fit. With an integrated retractable hood that’s attached to a separate compartment in the neck, the hood is held by a thick cotton band & tucks away fully into the back neck compartment, creating a pillow for the wearers head.
