Established by Issey Miyake in 1970. In 1971, the first collection was announced in New York, and since 1973 they began to show in Paris. Miyake, founder and first designer, was born in 1938. He studied at the Tama Art University and the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in Paris. Miyake’s dress-making is consistently based on the concept of “one piece of cloth” from the beginning of the debut, and the root of the relationship between the body, the cloth that covers it, and the balance that occurs between them. The brand also invented a material which they had studied from a level of a single thread, and in 1988 they announced their pleats piece which later became a brand of its own “PLEATS PLEASE”. Currently, young designers inheriting Miyake’s DNA manages their design team. From 2020, Satoshi Kondo designs for their womenswear line and their design team designs for the menswear line, consecutively developing the brand’s other lines such as “PLEATS PLEASE”, “HOMME PLISSÉ” and “BAO BAO”.

The brand is popular for its strong individuality, unique use of contrast and an avant-garde style. Miuccia was born in 1949, and studied politics at University of Milan, graduating with a doctorate. The name MIU MIU comes from Miuccia’s nickname as a child. Originally the brand showed their collection in Milan, but in 2004 they began showing in Paris. Currently they produce a wide range of items from womenswear, bags, leather goods, shoes, jewellery, eyewear and perfume. MIU MIU Aoyama store, which had moved and renewed in 2015, was also designed by Herzog & de Meuron, who also designed Prada Aoyama store that is located across from each other.

Fendi was launched in 1925 by Adele and Edoardo Fendi as a fur and leather shop in Rome, Italy. The pair gained their reputation by introducing fur coats inspired by fur collars that were popular in Hollywood at the time. In the 40s, their five daughters Paola, Anna, Franca, Carla and Alda joined the company and the brand quickly developed. In 1965, Karl Lagerfeld, only 27 at the time, was assigned the brand’s chielf designer until his death in 2019; many iconic items were produced, and the brand had acquired a place amongst other top luxury brands representing Italy. After Lagerfeld’s death, the third generation of the Fendi family, Silvia Fendi unified and directs all of the brand’s designs.

Along with Giorgio Armani and the late Gianfranco Ferre, who were just as popular as Gianni at the time, the three designers were called “3G” from the first letters of their names, and led the Italian fashion industry. Gianni was born in 1946 in Reggio Calabria, Italy. In 1997, he was shot to death in Miami, USA. His sister, Donatella Versace, took over the brand after Gianni’s death. Donatella had been helping her brother since she was a college student and was entrusted with their diffusion line “Versus.” Donatella added seductiveness and the glamorous atmosphere in addition to their previous brand image.
