\"MIYAKE broke the boundaries between East and West and pursued 'the body, the fabric covering it and a comfortable relationship between the two' as a fundamental concept, both shocking and resonating with people the world over,\" the company said on its website.

Miyake handed over design duties to his associate, Naoki Takizawa, now a design director at Uniqlo, in 1999. The brand is current led by Satoshi Kondo, who took over as design director for the brand's spring/summer 2020 collection.
