The Japanese designer has died Issey Miyake. He was 84 years old. His office reports.
Miyake “died on the evening of August 5,” one of his associates told AFP over the phone, without giving further details about his death. The Japanese public television station also announced the designer’s death.
Issey Miyake was born in Hiroshima, western Japan, on April 22, 1938, and was seven years old on August 6, 1945 when the United States dropped the first atomic bomb in history on his hometown, killing 140,000 and traumatizing the survivors for life. He survived, but his mother died from radiation three years later. After graduating from Tama University of Fine Arts in Tokyo, he moved to Paris to study at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne. Back in Japan in 1970, he began a career as a fashion stylist and designer exploring new materials and technologies. Among the various awards received, the prestigious Compasso d’oro Award 2014 for the creation of the IN-EI Issey Miyake lamps, made for the Italian company Artemide, is technologically advanced and with reduced consumption.
