三宅一生品牌虽不是第一个为国际公认的日本时装品牌，但它却是根植于日本的民族观念、习俗和价值观，是知名的世界女装品牌。

\

三宅一生的创始人Issey Miyake ，1970年在东京成立了三宅一生设计室，此后相继成立了三宅一生国际公司、饰品公司、欧洲公司、美国公司等。

\

三宅一生对布料的要求近乎苛刻，让布料商甚至自己亲自进行上百次的加工和改进实在是司空见惯。因而他设计的布料总是出人意料，有着神奇的效果。比如传统的绗缝棉布在三宅一生用来效果独特神奇，他偏爱稻草编织的日本式纹染、起绉织物和无纺布，独爱黑色、灰色、暗色调和印第安的扎染色。三宅一生所运用的晦涩色调充满着浓郁的东方情愫。他喜欢用大色块的拼接面料来改变造型效果，格外加强了作为穿着者个人的整体性，使他的设计醒目而与众不同。

\

三宅褶皱不止是装饰性的艺术，也不只是局限于方便打理。他充分考虑了人体的造型和运动的特点。在机器压褶的时候，他就直接依照人体曲线或造型需要来调整裁片与褶痕。

\

三宅一生在其设计中贯穿着人道的思考，他认为人们需要的是随时都可以穿的、便于旅行的、好保管的、轻松舒适的服装，而不是整天要保养、常送干洗店的“难伺候的”服装。因此三宅一生设计的褶皱面料可以随意一卷，捆绑成一团，不用干洗熨烫，要穿的时候打开，依然是平整如新。
