Issey Miyake has become so well known for his billowy raincoats, that in 1989 he started designing a separate collection of the signature styles, called ”windcoats.” The styles can be worn by men and women. All are sort of flowing, like kimonos.

”Kimonos are the cornerstone of Issey Miyake’s designs,” said Gary Dufresne, a sales executive for Issey Miyake. ”When you wear a kimono it’s like wearing air.”
