Japanese luxury fashion designer Issey Miyake has opened its first store in Hong Kong.
The Issey Miyake Hong Kong boutique is located on level 1 of the Ocean Centre at Harbour City on Canton Rd in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Womenswear, menswear accessories, shoes – and, of course, the brand’s famous fragrances – are all on sale in the boutique which also offers shoppers a unique outlook across the harbour.
The brand is known for it minimalist designs and the new Hong Kong boutique captures that philosophy in its design with merchandise displayed in a gallery like setting and simple black and white LED signage at the front.
Issey Miyake was born in Hiroshima and studied graphic design in Tokyo before working in Paris and New York. He returned to Tokyo in 1970 and founded the Miyake Design Studio to produce high-end women’s fashion.
Over the years he has developed spin-off brands and expanded into fragrances in 1992.
His flagship store is in Osaka.
