Product Insights
Issey Miyake's Concealed Knit Asymmetrical Sheer Top uses two flat square panels to create an asymmetric silhouette without darts, offering a loose sheer cut for movement. The proprietary 75% lyocell, 25% nylon knit provides fluid drape and structural memory, embodying the brand's A Piece of Cloth concept and philosophy of ma. Made in Japan with traditional craftsmanship and advanced textile research, this semi-sheer top requires layering and demands careful hand-washing and flat drying. Its 20 cm asymmetry in hem and sleeve lengths suits wearers 161–165 cm tall, pairing with blazers or distressed denim. The durable two-panel construction resists stretching and creasing.
