A slew of colorful and graphic dresses inter-playing stripes with bold color blocks were shown on the runway at Issey Miyake's springsummer 2013 catwalk presentation on Friday (September 28) during Paris Fashion Week. The collection was inspired by a vision of "vibrantly colored birds alighting on water and flapping their wings," according the show's program. Hence the myriad of hues that converged on the runway as models strutted in a dizzying criss-cross formation. Black and white graphic stripes were blended with blocks of blue, orange, and lime yellow, an effect achieved by double-sided printing in which images are placed on both the front and reverse sides of the fabric.
