Irving Penn never attended an Issey Miyake fashion show and Miyake was never present for the shoots by Penn.
“I was looking for one person who could look at myclothing, hear my voice and answer me back through his own creation. Through his eyes, Penn-san reinterprets the clothes, gives them new breath, and presents them to me from a new vantage point. Penn shows me what I do.”
