Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh served as muse for Yusuke Takahashi’s latest collection for Issey Miyake. Blending the label’s Japanese heritage with dandy attributes, Takahashi served up an unexpected collection. Embracing printed suiting with a relaxed, voluminous silhouette, trousers and coats made a dramatic impact. Draped knitwear evoked the image of kilts, while a playful mix of textures came together for monochromatic black numbers, which eventually exploded into coordinated velvet ensembles that fit relaxed like a robe.
