Junya Watanabe's unique interpretation of Western dress is completely his own. He has collaborated with some of the most iconic English and American companies, including Brooks Brothers, Levi's and Mackintosh. What makes Junya's clothes so special is that they are sculpted, rather than cut. His jackets and pants require complicated patterns to create this three-dimensional effect. Shorts wrap around the thigh and contour toward the knee. Jackets nip in at the waist and curve around the hips. I can't think of any other menswear designer that pays so much attention to the male form, while maintaining elegance. There is a sensual quality to his clothes that adds a new dimension to the very Western vocabulary of Jacket and Pants. He is truly Master of the Jacket.

Well said! And I just got a jacket from him. With leather elbow patches and slim cut, very flattering. Now I am considering getting a matching vests...hope it is still on sale during the 50% markdown:-)

I like the hoodie-blazer mutant.
And those jeans with interesting lining.
We love Junya Watanabe! Unfortunately, there's no Junya Watanabe store here in Cph. blah
I love this collection. In some ways it is as if Thom Browne, Rugby by Ralph Lauren, and Comme des Garcons all got mixed up together.
MJT, I totally agree. It would fit you very well.
