Issey Miyake Spring 2009, Paris Fashion Show back to press releases
October 2008

Issey Miyake Spring 2009, Paris Fashion Show

Issey Miyake Spring 2009, Paris Fashion Show
Working directly for the Issey Miyake SA, Blackout was asked to provide and install 140m of precision-controlled, motorisedtabtrack in eight separate parallel runs above the catwalk for their womens spring 2009 haute-couture collection at the Carousel de Louvre.

Each track carried a uniquelycoloured Japanese sourced see-through string curtain to follow individual models as they made their progress down the runway. Although the string-curtains had to travel at different speeds along differing lengths of track, they all had to arrive back at the start position simultaneously.

In the absence of a production company, our role also involved liaising with the other key suppliers to ensure a fast, smooth fit-up and de-rig schedule.

B|ackout was also involved in shows by Jean-Paul Gaultier, Louis Vuitton, Karl Lagerfeld and many others during fashion week.
