An incredible piece of fashion innovation.  From Vogue's review of the Spring 2016 collection:   At the brand’s show, designer Yoshiyuki Miyamae continued to test the horizons of what a pleat can be and do, introducing a new “baked stretch” technique that molds pleats into the body of a fabric. The most compelling looks in the collection were the ones that featured wavy baked stretch pleats, with contrasting colors printed into the curves; as the sculptural garments moved, they had a spring action, a little like that of a Slinky. The motion was surprising but subtle—you could easily imagine wearing these pieces.
