Vintage Issey Miyake Sport Cotton Skirt Late 1990s Light Grey M

A red and black geometric ‘IS’ logo patch charges the left side of this light grey cotton skirt, its proportions and palette unmistakable to those who remember Issey Miyake’s late-1990s Sport line. The skirt’s body is cut from crisp, midweight cotton with a subtle matte finish, shaped to a gentle A-line and anchored by an elastic waistband. An adjustable drawstring at the hem allows for subtle volume shifts, while the interior is finished with a clean white cotton lining for comfort.

No visible hardware interrupts the surface—this is a study in functional clarity, with the only embellishment being the oversized logo patch. The skirt is sized as a medium and suits a relaxed, above-the-knee fit.

The bold logo and technical finishing reflect the moment when Issey Miyake, still guiding his house’s direction, was pushing sportswear into graphic territory—evident here in both palette and construction. Care tag details in Japanese and the distinct ‘IS’ patch place this piece to the late 1990s, when diffusion lines under Miyake’s oversight brought studio pragmatism to everyday movement.
