Issey Miyake Pleats Please Dress Brown
Shoes
Prada Mary Jane Flat
WHY IT WORKS
Prada White Mary Jane: white flat introduces cool graphic note against warm brown — complementary grounding in reverse. Gold buckle pulls warmth back in. Elongated square toe echoes Issey's vertical pleating geometry. More deliberate and fashion-forward than Japan. Dress stays statement, shoe adds quiet architectural counterpoint.
THE TENSION
