...some of the most adventurous anyone has ever done. These are clothes that defy convention by flowing all around it, like so many pieces of whole cloth finding fresh form in the controlled accident of the fall, making the body under them feel as loose and free as the fabric. He has even experimented with molding the body underneath. Other designers working the same territory might just market a line of underwear. Not Miyake.

In Maine, eight shoe factories have closed in the past 18 months, with a loss of about 7,600 jobs.
