"ISSEY MIYAKE" 03AW Angora Wool Blend Flared Silhouette Coat

Creating something unprecedented for the comfort of people's daily lives, balancing innovation and everyday life, not just one or the other.
From ISSEY MIYAKE, which pursues a philosophy of creating without compromise on existing values, we introduce a rare archive piece.

A luxurious blend of angora, this is a piece where the minimalism of ISSEY MIYAKE WHITE LABEL breathes with elegance.

This individual piece, with the product number "IM34FA504," is highly credible as a 2003 autumn/winter season piece, as the code system unique to Issey Miyake indicates that the last digit "3" shows the last digit of the manufacturing year in the Gregorian calendar, and the following "4" functions as the season code for fall/winter, aligning with the atmosphere of White Label's development and material selection.

The outer fabric is composed of 65% angora and 35% wool, offering a moist brushed feel created by the hair that contains air, rather than the stiffness of a typical wool coat, and the lightness conveyed upon touch is also attractive.

Furthermore, the lining is made of 100% cupro, ensuring smooth wear regardless of the inner layer, and the elegant handling of dressing and undressing is a reflection of the careful cost distribution typical of this era.

The design is excellent in its construction, removing unnecessary decoration while creating a surface with the rise of the collar and the overlapping placket, which can be buttoned up to resemble a stand collar that wraps around the neck, or opened to create a soft, turned-around nuance.

The front features a vertically aligned button arrangement that naturally guides the gaze downward, and combined with the yoke of the body, it naturally enhances the elongated impression.

Additionally, the diagonally arranged pockets make the waist appear higher and are designed at an angle that does not spoil the minimal appearance, maintaining both practicality and aesthetic appeal.

The silhouette features a quietly flaring shape that widens toward the hem, with the softness of the material following the movement, and the sway with each step leaves a presence rather than an assertion, creating an impressive balance.

Also, the slightly three-quarter sleeve length makes the wrists look lighter, making it easy to create a layered look even in the season of layering, and you can straightforwardly feel the sophistication aimed at by White Label as everyday wear.

In styling, pairing with neat slacks or minimal dresses and prioritizing the composition of the face highlights the functional beauty characteristic of Naoki Takizawa's era, and layering over a long skirt with a drape creates a natural recall of Issey's philosophy.

Definitely take this opportunity.
