Tributes continue to flow since the passing of the celebrated fashion designer Issey Miyake.

Robyn Healy sat in the box seat during Miyake's rise. She was the NGA's inaugural curator of international fashion in the 1980s, and later became the NGV's senior curator of fashion and textiles – institutions among the first in Australia to collect Miyake's work.

She now leads RMIT's school of fashion and textiles.
