Micromesh Second-Skin Top
This Issey Miyake women's top features a fitted, second-skin silhouette constructed from stretch openwork nylon micromesh, with a crew neck and long sleeves. The open-mesh fabric is sheer and breathable, while denser knit bands define the waist and create vertical panel accents. Made in Japan, the top uses the brand's size equivalents: 1=XS, 2=S, 3=M, and 4=L.

Product Insights
The Micromesh Second-Skin Top, an Issey Miyake entry at $99.95 (down 78% from $450), embodies monozukuri design with fabric engineered from the thread for its silhouette. Its stretch micromesh hugs the body, returns to shape, and resists sagging, while openwork weave and nylon manage heat and sweat for coolness. Semi-sheer, it requires a camisole for standalone wear or works for layering. The main tradeoff: intentional compressive fit (size up for looseness) and careful hand wash/flat dry to preserve elasticity and avoid snagging, delivering Issey Miyake heritage and Made-in-Japan craftsmanship.
