Junya Watanabe has come a long way in his fashion journey and this collection shows just a part of his creative design and skill set. Watanabe started designing for COMME des GARÇONS with a pattern-making apprenticeship in 1984, a skill that can be seen in all his collections today.
Since his emergence as a fashion designer, Junya Watanabe must be applauded for his innovative approach and outlook for construction and shape with uncommon materials.
Everyone remembers his Fall/Winter 2016 collection where he actually had a solar-powered trench coat? That’s something I’m still waiting to see from the other major fashion houses. Junya Watanabe reimagines the classic wardrobe staples and brings them back to life in a fun, new, and creative way that makes you wonder why no one else had thought of it?
The collection with Supreme is inspired from the archives of Junya Watanabe eponymous Japanese label, it pays respect to his journey through the industry and where he started. It showcases a lot of reinvented classics such as the trench coat, puffer jackets, oversized hoodies and everything else streetwear that you love about Supreme with Junya Watanabe creative flair.
