 FAST FACTS: DYSON + ISSEY MIYAKE
 > In 1985, James Dyson first encountered ISSEY MIYAKE’s work
 > at an exhibition at the Boiler House museum
 > (forerunner to the Design Museum) in London.
 > He’s been a fan ever since; particularly
 > admiring Miyake’s bold approach to design:
 > “Issey Miyake has for many years shown the world what design is all about.
 > Reinventing the shape of clothing.
 > Coming up with new production methods. Redefining materials. A true original”.
 > The collaboration between Dai Fujiwara and James Dyson,
 > for Paris Fashion Week,
 > began in August 2006 following a visit by Dai to Dyson’s
 > Research Design and Development centre in Wiltshire.
 > Dai set James the challenge of bringing wind power to his catwalk show.
 > The material used by Dyson for the giant yellow ‘hoses’
 > in the set is more commonly used for police dog training
 > or extracting exhaust fumes from aircraft.
 > Each of the five tubes is 14m long and 0.65m in diameter.
 > They were tested in a huge warehouse at Dyson’s RDD Centre in the UK
 > and flown out for further testing in Paris.
 > Dai Fujiwara has incorporated blueprints from Dyson designs
 > as well as actual Dyson machine parts into his collection
 > ISSEY MIYAKE pioneered the award-winning A-POC (a piece of cloth)
 > process: garments are made using industrial knitting
 > or weaving machines programmed by a computer.
 > This process creates continuous tubes of fabric
 > within which lie both shape and pattern
 > Dyson will dedicate the next version of the Dyson DC16 handheld
 > cleaner to ISSEY MIYAKE, to celebrate
 > the WIND collaboration – this will be available in November 2007
 > By designing this set James Dyson has come full circle;
 > one of his first projects was designing London’s
 > Roundhouse theatre. A former locomotive turning house,
 > he transformed it into an auditorium.
