Japanese fashion designer, Issey Miyake, whose global career spanned more than half a century, has died aged 84.
Issey Miyake, who is renowned for his avant-garde designs and scent, established a global fashion brand by creating the renowned black turtleneck sweaters worn by Steve Jobs.
Throughout his lengthy career, Miyake was renowned for using both classic and contemporary fashion techniques.
According to Japanese media, a private funeral for him has already been held after his death on Friday from liver cancer.
Miyake, who was born in Hiroshima in 1938, was just seven years old when an American atomic bomb decimated the city. Three years later, his mother succumbed to radiation exposure.
In 2009, he stated in a New York Times opinion post, “When I close my eyes, I still envision things no one should ever experience. I prefer to think about things “that no one should ever experience”
