Junya Watanabe

Another concept for Junya Watanabe presenting its Fall/Winter 2017 in Paris Fashion Week.

Plain surfaces are overrated, Junya Watanabe seemed to say with his spring men’s collection, shown in a concrete parking garage plastered with colorful graffiti and worn by a cast of heavily tattooed models, to which the designer added more ink on limbs, faces and necks.

In honor of Mario Testino's new exhibition in Copenhagen, we are throwing it back to his story with Candice Swanepoel where the duo found sun and scandal in the Danish city for VMAN20: http://trib.al/2njYZtO

Junya Watanabe’s strength is in the relentless reiteration of a single notion or motif, stuttering through synonyms for a particular term in fashion’s vocabulary. It’s an idea he often turns to in his shows—taking an archetypal item or technique, and then exhausting it.
