Sony, in a 2021 Instagram post, regarding the uniforms that so infatuated Steve Jobs that he commissioned Miyake to design prototype vests for Apple employees to wear:
The history of the relationship between the two companies dates
back to the 1980s. It was Issey Miyake whom Akio Morita, chairman
of the board at that time, requested for a uniform design which
employees take pride in with comfort year-round.That’s the light nylon fabric uniform, created by the first
collaboration of Sony and ISSEY MIYAKE.Featuring removable sleeves, it’s perfect for summer.
The second photo shows Akio Morita trying one on. See also: this Instagram post from SPOT Closet.
What a find it would be for someone to uncover one of Miyake’s prototype vests for Apple.
