In a reversal by Walker, he acknowledged that Biden won the 2020 election although he didn’t distance himself entirely from the former president, referring to Donald Trump as “ my friend” and offering support for his 2024 election run. Christian Walker, Herschel Walker’s son with his wife, who previously advocated for Walker’s Senate run, took to Twitter with some “fatherly” advice: “ Wear a condom, damn.” The hypocritical news exploded for a second time when it was revealed that he actually urged the same woman to get the procedure again in 2011 but the woman refused. The former football star previously likened abortions to “ a woman killling her baby”-despite the evidence that he paid for a woman to get the procedure in 2009. Warnock retorted, “God gave us a choice and I respect the right of women to make a decision,” adding that Walker “wants to arrogate more power to politicians than God has.” Then Kondo came out to take some deserved applause of his own.Walker inquired about Warnock’s pro-abortion stance as a pastor: “Instead of aborting those babies, why aren’t you baptizing those babies?” In the end the models and some dancers who joined at the close performed a joyful honor guard for Miyake-a traditional display of the garments’ wearability-running hither and thither across the large darkened space before rushing as one towards the exit. You could see the sculpture reference but also half expected these to be props in a coup de theatre that never arrived. The models walked between two fabric obelisks, lit from within. These had that trademark Miyake bounce and flex-they looked both structured and effortless simultaneously. From around Look 40 onwards, a group called Assemblage used different knitting techniques to create dresses, skirts and tops in tiered sections. A 100-percent-fossil-fuel-free polyester? This was a truly exciting development. These “Resonant Suit” looks were made in a circularly-pleated polyester that was 100 percent plant based and created by a Miyake partner named Toray Industries Inc. Possibly the most technologically significant section came from around Look 20. Some of these were impressed with pigment prints intended to reinforce that sculptural look. The collection was loosely based around sculpture and the opening section, Torso, was crafted in single pieces of fabric manufactured to look solid to the eye-like a piece of carved marble-but to move fluidly against the body. Team Miyake tends to deliver its looks in groups, like different courses in a tasting menu, each focusing on its various avenues of seasonal exploration. Satoshi Kondo and the design team, who had worked closely with Miyake until the end, provided a quote of their own: “We see design as a process driven by curiosity, built upon a comprehensive exploration-bringing joy, wonder, and hope to life, and of course with a touch of playfulness.” This collection, named A Form That Breathes, was evidence that Miyake’s unparalleled application of technological innovation in the pursuit of joyfulness through design was in safe hands. Once the applause had faded we were left looking ahead. Design evokes surprise and joy in people.” Under images of the great man’s portrait that were projected around us at the Paris Event Center was written one of his many quotes, which, like so many of his garments, was deceptively simple: “I believe there is hope in design. This first Issey Miyake show since the founder’s death in August was preceded by a moment of remembrance.
