Miss Aya Takano

Into Archive celebrates the once-in-a-generation collaboration between Aya Takano and Issey Miyake—artworks worn on the body and carried above it. Shot in New York City by James Bee and starring Amata Alp, the feature spotlights a matching umbrella and top whose illustrated surfaces turn movement into animation. Around the hero set, we layer house staples—Issey Miyakecotton separates, a Christian Diorwhite cotton top, Chanelpink lycra swim, Louis Vuittonpink rubber shoes, and a John Gallianogreen leather bag—to echo Takano’s palette in wearable form. The result is a living gallery: collectible pieces styled with clarity so the prints read like brushstrokes in real time.
