Designer Junya Watanabe captivates the world
JUNYAWATANABE is popular for its craft creations such as patchwork and vintage processing.
The brand is active worldwide as COMME des GARCONS JUNYAWATANABE.
Here we introduce the charm of JUNYAWATANABE.
What is JUNYAWATANABE?
COMME des GARÇONS JUNYAWATANABE MAN started in 2002 within COMME des GARÇONS.
The concept of the brand is to “incorporate a new feeling into basic items.
Rather than creating something completely new from scratch, we take basic, traditional items that already exist and add a new interpretation through the filter of Junya Watanabe Man.
We find new value in these items.
The catalyst for this process may be a new material or an idea, such as applying a vintage finish to denim, or making a dress out of denim.
For example, we can create a vintage finish on denim, or a dress out of denim, or a dress with a drawcord that can change its silhouette in any way.
