Fishing for a Pleats Please Issey Miyake exclusive

» If you're a fan of Pleats Please Issey Miyake, drop by their duplex store at Siam Discovery for an exclusive limited collection which celebrates the brand's 10th anniversary in Thailand. Designed specifically for this event and available only in Thailand, the Japanese brand has decided to splash out with the mede-tai motif, representing the Japanese red sea bream. As this fish is a major part of traditional Japanese festivals and is also consumed for its auspiciousness, it's been chosen for the collection as a symbol of good fortune and celebration. Most importantly, however, the tai was chosen for being a homonym of "Thai", and to honour its decade in Thailand.

To celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's 60th anniversary on the throne (she was crowned on June 2, 1953) the Coronation Festival was last month held right in the very gardens of Buckingham Palace for the first time.
