Opening Friday this week, Issey Miyake’s go-to architect and designer Tokujin Yoshioka will reveal his latest monochrome masterpiece in London’s Mayfair.

Typically minimal, the new three storey space is testament to the refined simplicity of Japanese design. Everyone wants a piece nowadays and it’s easy to see why; minimal without feeling clinical, elegant without comprising function – Yoshioka’s vision is an exemplary reason why Japanese craftsmanship carries such a premium today.

Take their innovative new clothes rail as an example. For most, the clothes rail is a fairly set-in-stone concept, but for Yoshioka and Issey Miyake, it’s carte blanche, an opportunity to revisit and revise an outdated idea. This cutting-edge, triangular, powder coated (!) hanger rail displays clothes as if they were floating in mid-air with a weightless elegance, presumably so shoppers can rifle through noiselessly and with minimal friction. Primark, this ain’t. Elsewhere, a Bateig blue limestone staircase links the three floors, each stocking Miyake’s Pleats Please, Miyake Homme Plissé and Bao Bao collections – the first time these three lines have been housed under the same roof outside of Japan. If the floating rail isn’t enough to prompt a visit, then this surely is.
