The Museum of Modern Art featured acclaimed designer Issey Miyake in its groundbreaking 1998 exhibition “Structure and Surface: Contemporary Japanese Textiles,” and examples of his work are represented in MoMA’s design collection. Bonnie Mackay introduced his distinctive Bao Bao Bag to the MoMA Stores in 2005. Adapted from his signature pleated designs, the bag was an immediate success and was soon featured on a MoMA Design Store catalog cover. When Bonnie visited a Pleats Please boutique in Tokyo Midtown, she was pleasantly surprised to see the MoMA catalog featured prominently at the entrance! The Bao Bao Bag’s popularity has led to a successful, ongoing collection of Miyake designs at the MoMA Stores.
