　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.
