Every season has its storm in a teacup, its clutch of personalities who absorb the fashion community in thought, word, and deed. But beyond that, there are the tribes who tirelessly toil—often thanklessly, in terms of media coverage—to create the collections that give substance to the fashion calendar. That train of thought rode down the tracks in one's mind today during a particularly impressive showing from Issey Miyake. Yoshiyuki Miyamae—the designer who is now attached enough to the line that it is he who takes the bow at show's end—is visibly youthful (trusting, that is, to the evidence of one's own eyes), and it was youth, beauty, and a gloriously summery freshness that today's collection communicated.
