Very odd. I can find no reference to Sony's uniform having been designed by Issey Miyake, even in Japanese, other than this one anecdote.
Edit: There is some allusion to it, yet no direct reference .. However, it seems he was generally interested in using Japanese fabrics to make clothes for workers in the 1970s, so it is definitely possible.
- ramchip 15y agoActually, googling "三宅一生 ソニー" returns a Sony time capsule: ソニーのユニフォームは何回かデザイン変わってますけど、1981年に採用が決まった最後のユニフォームはなんと三宅一生氏のデザインですよ。 Translation: The design for the Sony uniform has changed several times, but the last uniform for the hiring of 1981 was a design of Issey Miyake.

- minikomi 15y agoWeird. ソニー 三宅一生 制服, ソニー 三宅一生 作業服, both miss that site.. Needed ユニフォーム instead, or not at all!
- MrKurtHaeusler 15y agoWhat about any actual pictures of the designs?
- ramchip 15y agoI googled for a while in both languages and couldn't find one, unfortunately. I did find a book on Amazon Japan with Sony uniform pictures (amongst other companies), but I doubt the specific uniform here is included.
- kalleboo 15y agoFirst bing result for "三宅一生 ソニー ユニフォーム": http://www.sony.co.jp/SonyInfo/CorporateInfo/History/capsule/04/index.html http://www.sony.co.jp/SonyInfo/CorporateInfo/History/capsule... 1981年に採用が決まった最後のユニフォームはなんと三宅一生氏のデザインですよ。オシャレでしょ。 edit: looks like I was beaten quite handily, I need to remember to refresh old tabs before replying...
