KASANE – a Japanese word that means “to layer” is both an allegory and the essence of the concept lying behind the Issey Miyake menswear collection for the autumn / winter 2012 season. Inspired by the quintessence of Kasane – a practical function and artistic impression on the designs – the collection under the reign of four designers successfully supervises reinterpretations of layering techniques through the textile development and tailoring process.

There is a great tribute to the layering concept portrayed by the signature pleating method of the house, as well as by colour degradations and a unique mirage of layering achieved by the special dip–dyeing techniques or texture graduations on the outwear and other parts of the ensembles. As a result, the line for menswear depicts an established yet multidimensional route for Kasane stamped by Issey Miyake’s affinity to Japanese craftsmanship and linking to the country’s traditional home wear.
