Issey Miyake is one of those designers who straddles the line between clothing construction and art. And I love that in his books he’s not afraid to show his clothing on everyday folks, who look amazing in his garments even without perfect model figures.

Today’s VPOD features one of his cutting-edge designs that is a hip, modern take on a frock coat and a beautiful expression of menswear for women. This fabulous jacket in a subtly striped satin has great draping on the front as well as a beautiful bias-cut on the backside that creates a flattering look whether you’re seen coming or going.

It’s a master Miyake find for a vintage fashionista!
