Keeping track of all the August sample sales? Add Issey Miyake to your list. On Wednesday, August 12th from 8am to 3pm, the Japanese designer will be hosting a sample sale at the Metropolitan Pavilion, including the eponymous lines he's known for as well as Pleats Please Issey Miyake, HaaT, and Cauliflower.

Previous sample sales have also taken place at the popular Chelsea venue, and according to Sample Sally, the architecturally constructed creations have gone up to 70% off retail prices in past years. While we don't have the exact merchandise and discount details for this sale just yet, we're expecting to see selections both for men and women. In fact, men have made up a large number of attendees at Issey Miyake sample sales in the past.

Keep an eye out for further details—we'll make sure to keep you updated.
