Homme Plissé Issey Miyake will be the Guest of Honor at the upcoming edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo 108, which will be held in Florence from June 17 to 20, 2025. The menswear line of the renowned Japanese fashion house, founded by Issey Miyake, will be the focus of a special event scheduled for Wednesday, June 18, in a yet-to-be-revealed location in Florence.

"The presence of Homme Plissé Issey Miyake at the upcoming Pitti Uomo in June fills us with pride and excitement. We have long hoped to associate the name of the great Japanese brand with our event, and today we are finally able to share a long-awaited announcement: Homme Plissé Issey Miyake will be the Guest of Honor at Pitti Uomo 108," said Raffaello Napoleone, ceo of Pitti Immagine. "This is our way of recognizing and celebrating the quality, creativity and originality of the brand, its success on a global scale, and, at the same time, highlighting the brand’s current creative direction, which has successfully reinterpreted the quiet, elegant magic of its founder: one of the designers, one of the artists, who marked the history of fashion in the twentieth century. I don’t dare to give comments as I was a fashion critic, but I can’t help but be struck by the blend of elegance, functionality, innovative use of color and materials, artistic flair, and conceptual lightness that define Homme Plissé Issey Miyake’s work. It’s a vision that both honors and revitalizes such a powerful and distinctive legacy. For this show, Florence is, as always, ready to offer an evocative and unforgettable setting."

"We feel grateful for this opportunity to be featured at one of the most celebrated menswear events around the world. On this occasion, we will present our Spring Summer 2026 collection to a local and international audience in Florence, created based on our research and field studies carried out during our travels across Italy," said the design team of Homme Plissé Issey Miyake.

Launched in 2013, Homme Plissé Issey Miyake is founded on the technology of garment pleating to design and make everyday wear that is universal for the diversity of the wearers. The garments, being wrinkle-resistant, quick to dry, lightweight, and easy to wear, are designed as products for everyday life that adapt to each wearer’s body as they bring out individual personalities. The uniformity found in the pleated fabric lends itself to the freedom in mixing and matching items, and to that end new discoveries of oneself.
