The exhibition focuses on the collaborative work of the photographer Irving Penn with the designer Issey Miyake.


From 1987 to the Fall/Winter Collection of 1999, Irving Penn photographed all Issey Miyake’s biennial collections. 
Penn made over 250 photographs of Miyake’s designs, many of which appear in collection posters, were published in art books, or exhibited in museums and cultural institutions.

The exhibition features both the individual and collaborative work of Irving Penn and Issey Miyake. In addition to large scale projections of photographs collections by Penn, an animated film by Pascal Roulin with original cartoons by Michael Crawford, and Issey Miyake collection posters were exhibited collectively for the first time.
