Fashion and fragrances label Issey Miyake has opened a new store in Japan, its design influenced by water.
The new Issey Miyake Osaka store is located in the Semba district that once prospered as an important waypoint for ships and boats.
The outlet’s basement floor features a creative space where people, objects and ideas related to Osaka and various other regions can interact. It will serve as a venue to showcase an array of experimental projects, including exhibits and events.
At an event to commemorate the store’s opening, the basement space will showcase artist Seitaro Kuroda’s open studio under its “fount of creativity” theme.
Kuroda will be freely inspired by the venue, creating an impromptu space with installations and paintings.
