Invited by Miyake to
contribute a design for the "Guest Artist Series" of "Pleats Please",
Yasumasa Morimura created a composite work inspired by an Ingres'
nude, La Source. The printed image, borrowing Ingres' spatial perspective,
supplies an illusion of three dimensions, while the wearer's body
dissolves the illusion into three-dimensional space. Miyake opens
a dialogue with the wearer by creating garments that are works in
progress waiting to be completed by the form and movement of an
individual body. He studies to the inherent qualities of the pleated
fabric and creates garments that ignore age, gender and stereotypical
body shapes.
