The CUBE at ISSEY MIYAKE GINZA / 445 presents an exhibition, “A Piece of Cloth, and One Line”, IM MEN Reinterpreted by TAKT PROJECT.
Moments of joy, surprise, and tranquility.
Everyday life holds a multitude of expressions.
As a surface, a piece of cloth leads to infinite multifaceted possibilities.
Drawing a line onto the cloth to give it a new dimension.
Leaving the nature of the multifaceted cloth as it is, as much as possible.
Opening to unexplored senses and discovering a new normal.
Adapting diverse universality to create everyday clothing from a piece of cloth with grace.
That is at the core of IM MEN’s clothes-making.
Each day, dressing in IM MEN clothing is like drawing a new line over ordinary living.
This exhibition employs laser levels—a tool used on construction sites to map straight lines—as a component for spatial composition to present IM MEN’s clothes-making.
A single line of light renders diverse luminous expressions on a large piece of cloth floating in space, staging diverse scenes in front of our eyes as if to symbolize IM MEN’s approach to clothing design.
The line of light penetrates the cloth and traces the contours of the surrounding space, revealing a different perspective on the familiar space as it synchronizes with the light on the cloth.
This exhibition presents IM MEN’s approach to clothes-making that conveys a sense of universality,
as the brand explores new, multifaceted perspectives in the ordinary world.

TAKT PROJECT, the curator of this exhibition, is a design studio that creates and actualizes new concepts through design. It strives to promote design through a “new intellect” based on a hypothesis that design cannot be reached by logical thinking alone, but rather by taking a bird’s-eye view of the world, listening to one’s voice, and feeling and creating with one’s hands.
