Issey Miyake has died. The legendary Japanese fashion designer passed away at the age of 84, his office confirmed on Tuesday (August 9). Issey was battling cancer before his death on August 5.

A funeral service has been planned for family and friends, and a memorial ceremony will not be held, in line with the designer’s wishes, via CNN. Issey Miyake founded his own design studio in Toyko in 1970, and became an international superstar beginning in the ’80s thanks to his unique, avant-garde fashion designs.

He would later develop a new fabric inspired by the pleated silk Delphos gowns designed by Henriette Negrin and her husband Mariano Fortuny in the early 1900s, creating permanently pleated garments.

In 2007, he launched Reality Lab to explore eco-friendly design and durability in fashion. He is also well-known for his fragrance line. Satoshi Kondo is the current head designer of the brand.
