#canitellyou rest in pleats. I still remember the first time I saw Issey Miyake’s clothing in Tokyo. It was my first time there back in the late 80’s. He and his contemporaries; Rei and Yohji were causing quite a stir in the fashion world. So much originality and distinctive aesthetics like nothing I had ever seen. His collection @pleatspleaseisseymiyake reached such a wide audience that spanned generations and gender. These images all shot by @the.irving.penn.foundation are still as iconic today as they were when they were first published.

That’s Peter Freuchen and his wife Dagmar Freuchen-Gale, in a photo taken by Irving Penn. Freuchen is a top candidate for the Most Interesting Man in the World. Standing six feet seven inches, Freuchen was an arctic explorer, journalist, author, and anthropologist. He participated in several arctic journeys (including a 1000-mile dogsled trip across Greenland), starred in an Oscar-winning film, wrote more than a dozen books (novels and nonfiction, including his Famous Book of the Eskimos), had a peg leg (he lost his leg to frostbite in 1926; he amputated his gangrenous toes himself), was involved in the Danish resistance against Germany, was imprisoned and sentenced to death by the Nazis before escaping to Sweden, studied to be a doctor at university, his first wife was Inuit and his second was a Danish margarine heiress, became friends with Jean Harlow and Mae West, once escaped from a blizzard shelter by cutting his way out of it with a knife fashioned from his own feces, and, last but certainly not least, won $64,000 on The $64,000 Question. An anecdote about Freuchen, courtesy of Frank Chimero:
It was so cold that even inside his cabin, even with the small coal stove, the moisture in his breath condensed into ice on the walls and ceiling. He kept breathing. The house got smaller and smaller. Early on, he wrote, two men could not pass without brushing elbows. Eventually after he was alone and the coal — “the one factor that had kept the house from growing in upon me” — was gone, he threw out the stove to make more room inside. (He still had a spirit lamp for light and boiling water.) Before winter and his task ended and relief came, he was living inside an ice cave made of his own breath that hardly left him room to stretch out to sleep. Peter Freuchen, six foot seven, lived inside the cave of his breath.

#canitellyou for pleats sake. I’ll never forget when I first saw Issey Miyake’s clothing in Tokyo back in the late 80s. It was my first time there and seeing his designs along with his contemporaries; Rei and Yohji, was a real eye opener. A kind of originality I’d never seen at the time. His shows were always so energetic and euphoric. The @pleatspleaseisseymiyake introduced his clothing to a wider audience that spanned gender and generations.
