Issey Miyake is DEAD to ME!

Aww, that’s a shame.

He really taught Daniel well in karate.

RIP genius

He had to sashay away......

I confuse him with Isaac Mizrahi.

His OG cologne smelt wonderful

I thought that he was already dead. An early casualty of AIDS…

You were wrong again.

I always confuse him with Chicken Teriyaki.

He dressed them to kill. And then he died.

Strongly agree about the OG cologne. Crisp and clean

The clothes were great but maybe an acquired taste. RIP

Don’t go mixing up our names. I’m still here, bitches.

He had a line of nice scents, both for men and women.

RIP.

I get him confused with DL fave Miyoshi Umeki.

I believe you mean DL fave Miyoshi FUCKING Umeki, R13.

He sure had a filthy mouth, but he was unforgettably delicate and coy as Mei Li in FLOWER DRUM SONG.

He was pretty hot when he was younger.

Was he a gay like most male fashion designers?

Yes, he looks very handsome in OP’s photo.

Is L'eau D'Issey still being made? I love that perfume.

Loved his novels, especially Remains of the Day.

Fashion visionary

Who had him?

The iconic Steve Jobs mock turtleneck designed by Miyake

A 2017 revived version, retailing at $270 at the time

Issey Miyaje is to Issac Mizhrahi as fresh squeezed orange juice is to Tang..

Rest in pleats

R24 for the win

Was he gay or was he closeted?

Yohji Yamamoto, you in danger Gurl!

Someone in the rag trade named Izzy., whooda thought?

Not leading with his pronouns was literally violence OP.

Suppose I'd better hang on to my dregs of my faovurite clean, classy, chilly, sunny, prickly, intellectual freshie L'eau Bleu Fraiche, then.

A true master of design.

Pleats, Mister, Pleats!

His perfumes are widely available.

Did he invent shitake sushi? Oishi!

R35 OISHI???

I liked her song, “Fancy.”

I love the fragrances and like the clothes. My favorite piece is black short navy cut coat, like a pea coat, with a huge lapel and cuffs made of synthetic monkey fur. It's outrageous and a bit sinister and yes made for a man. I got it at Harvey Nichols two decades ago during my super flush years. I remember that shopping holiday - I bought dozens of Jermyn Street shirts, and Penhaligon's colognes. I still have the coat and bottle or two of dwindling Penhaligon's.

Surprised by the comments here. Very disappointing, DL. This guy was ironic. I still remember his sunglasses from Pet Shop Boys video Suburbia.

who?

Extremely handsome man, especially when he was young.

Brought a huge sense of fashion and fun to fashion.

WHO!?

R41 I think the opposite. He aged into a distinguished DILF. Young he wasn't all that.

Yohji Yamamoto is 78, and Rei Kawakubo is 79. Kenzo Takada died at 81 in 2020 from COVID.

Has Isaac Mizrahi commented?

Why would a middle-eastern ethnicity Jewish American in particular have a comment about a Japanese man, twat brain R45?
