Rare 1980s Vintage Showa Era Issey Miyake Nissan Skyline Prince Sweatshirt Red
NIS-073
You are looking at a rare vintage Issey Miyake Skyline sweatshirt from the Showa Era featuring the Nissan Skyline. This unique piece is difficult to find in good condition and represents the early success of the Nissan Skyline in Japan. Nissan has produced various merchandise lines to celebrate the legacy of the Skyline series, which was exclusively distributed in Japan.
The ISSEY MIYAKE SKYLINE clothing brand emerged through a collaboration between the renowned Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake and Nissan's iconic Skyline series. Launched in the 1980s, this brand reflected the fusion of automotive innovation and cutting-edge fashion. Issey Miyake, celebrated for his avant-garde designs and innovative use of technology in textiles, infused a unique and futuristic aesthetic into the Skyline-inspired apparel line. The collection featured garments and accessories that embodied the same precision, craftsmanship, and forward-thinking design principles found in the Skyline vehicles.
The ISSEY MIYAKE SKYLINE brand garnered attention for its sleek, modern designs, appealing to enthusiasts of both high fashion and automotive culture. It symbolized Japan's postmodern cultural wave, merging technology, art, and style. The line comprised a variety of items, from clothing to accessories, all showcasing Miyake's signature minimalist yet innovative approach to fashion. Over time, the brand's connection to the Skyline became less prominent, and the clothing line was eventually discontinued. Nonetheless, vintage items from the collection continue to be prized by collectors and fashion enthusiasts, representing a unique intersection of automotive and fashion history.
Please understand that retro items will have slight imperfections due to long-term storage and usage.
