Japanese house Issey Miyake paid tribute to its late founder during Paris Fashion Week with a one-of-a-kind fashion show choreographed by him.

A black-and-white portrait of Miyake, who died last month at the age of 84, was projected onto the walls, and the show kicked off in a celebratory mood with simple monochrome ensembles.

But as the show progressed, the dancers appeared in more comfortable and lighter outfits in a more dreamy atmosphere.

In the 1990s, Miyake collaborated with famed choreographer William Forstate and added dancers to the fashion show models.

It was a groundbreaking move at the time, but it is now commonplace, as seen at the Dior show earlier this week.

Issei Miyake, who focused on clothing that allowed freedom of movement, also collaborated with the choreographer on costumes for the 1991 ballet Lost of Small Details.

The collection, shown at Paris Fashion Week, was inspired by sculpture, with three-dimensional silhouettes made from a single piece of fabric and prints made from clay molds, according to AFP.

The house also introduced a new material called “vegetable polyester” that does not use petroleum products.
