IM MEN launched in Tokyo in 2021, a menswear line built on Issey Miyake's founding principle of "a piece of cloth" and named for im product, the Issey Miyake offshoot that ran from the late 1970s through the 1990s. Led by Sen Kawahara alongside a team of veteran designers, the brand carries forward im product's core idea that practical clothing should meet the people who actually use it, made from curiosity, wit, and a kind of everyday ingenuity rather than ornament. Each piece develops through collaborative research into structure and material, technology and design treated as parts of the same process, in pursuit of garments that put feeling first without tipping into excess in either direction.
