Issey Miyake and Apple collaborate on wearable iPhone Pocket accessory

Summary
A collaboration between Issey Miyake and Apple results in the "iPhone Pocket," a wearable textile accessory that reframes the iPhone as something integrated into clothing rather than carried separately. Drawing from Miyake's signature pleating techniques, the piece is a soft, sculptural form that adapts to the body and accommodates the device with a sense of lightness — functioning less like a case and more like a textile extension of the garment.
