Issey Miyake designer Naoki Takizawa was made a chevalier by the French Order of Arts and Letters on Friday, in a ceremony at the Musée du quai Branly in Paris. He was assigned this honour for creating four dramatic curtains that adorn the Museum for Primitive Arts. The award gives recognition to eminent writers and artists, and individuals who have contributed significantly to advancing the arts in France and throughout the world.
Widely considered Miyake's protégé , Takizawa has been at the company since 1989, taking the menswear reins in 1993 before being assigned creative control of the whole operation later. He is known for his outstanding use of new fabrics and organic details, and often draws inspiration from the performing arts for his collections. He will debut his own line at Bryant Park this September under the Issey Miyake umbrella.
