DESCRIPTION:Nom du lots : Issey Miyake\n\nIssey Miyake Rare Breastplate\, A
 utumn-Winter 1980-81\n\nDimensions:\n\nTo view a Grace Jones wearing an id

 k here.\n\nAll measurements are approximate.\n\nArguably one of Issey Miya
 ke’s most coveted creations\, this well-documented breastplate was a fav
 orite of Grace Jones\, who is photographed on numerous occasions wearing d
 ifferent colors of this design. A wearable sculpture\, this piece brillian
 tly merges the world’s of fashion\, contemporary and performance art. Th
 e finale of his A/W 1980-81 collection\, the breastplate was also the foca
 l point of Miyake’s ’Bodyworks’ exhibition\, which toured internatio
 nally from 1983-85. Moulded from a woman’s torso\, the concept subverts 
 the idea of clothing to be used as covering of the body\, instead creating
  a surreal second-skin for the wearer. Miyake presented this piece as wear
 able art - in some instances worn on a live model\, in others\, mounted on
  a gallery wall as sculpture. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds a versi
 on within their collection\, accession no. 2015.61. It is exceptionally ra
 re to find an example still with it’s original sticker.
