Miyake was born in Hiroshima, Japan. When he was only seven years old, he lost his mother to the atomic bomb at Hiroshima (9 August 1945), which he survived and also can remember.
His clothing designs were technology-driven, and that was what he was well known for. He was also famous for the design of Steve Jobs, a friend of his, the black turtlenecks he wore.

To Riaan:
I remember the night when you came and visited—no shoes, your tone hurt the previous night when we were on the mobile phone.
This song is playing in the air tonight when you enter my apartment. You touched my hand and I felt your breath next to mine.
