Glamorama 2010 – Issey Miyake

Opening Scene

The decision was unanimous in my family: Issey Miyake gave the best presentation of the evening. I was most excited about seeing this show, as I am truly just a nerd at heart. When I heard that Dai Fujiwara was inspired by mathematical models of the universe I knew I was in for a treat. The backdrop played a video of a computer generated flight through galaxies and the universe. Electronic music provided a critical audio component to the immersive experience, and the combined effect was extraordinary. It was as though the pieces themselves fell out of a wormhole, twisted and knotted around each other in impossible combinations. Several looks were completely wearable as well – an admirable effort by Macy’s style team, considering how avant garde the New York runway show was.
