The first impression is a rich teal knit, its surface a subtle interplay of matte and light, shaped into an open-front cardigan that falls with Miyake’s signature sculptural ease. There is no visible logo or hardware—just the quietly innovative textile, a cotton blend knit with a soft hand and gentle, undulating drape. This piece is from Issey Miyake’s Permanete line, a study in timeless, architectonic forms and materials, emerging in the early 2000s as a counterpoint to the brand’s more experimental Pleats Please collections. Miyake, who founded his atelier in Tokyo in 1970, is celebrated for merging Eastern and Western traditions, engineering garments that blur the line between clothing and art. The estimated size is approximately L, based on garment measurements; the construction is generous through the body and sleeve, inviting layering and ease of movement. Condition is very good, with no visible pilling, snags, or discoloration—the knit retains its structure and hue throughout. The mannequin normally wears a size M.
