The Fete label was produced between 2002 and 2009 making this from somewhere in between (note that this is taken fromt he corporate history on the Miyake website - its is oft reported elsewhere that the Fete line starts in 2004 but the time line on the website says 2002). Just in case you’d like to know how they were made, it involves heat-treating polyester jersey to permanently retain washboard rows of horizontal, vertical or diagonal knife-edge pleats. The fabrics are cut and sewn first, then sandwiched between layers of paper and fed into a heat press, where they are pleated. The fabric’s ‘memory’ holds the pleats after the garments are liberated from their paper cocoons. This is a great example of that and can be worn as a micro mini (if you dare) or a tunic. Excellent, appears unworn condition.
