Art of the Japanese avant-garde

Introverted designer and expressive collections. Playing with style, spatial forms and  fashion canons. Subdued, monochrome colours and surprising design solutions. Here is the recipe for a successful avant-garde tandem according to Junya Watanabe - Comme des Garçons duo.

Boots / wellies: designs of a lone wolf admired by the crowds

Shapes and wrinkles referring to origami art in combination with military, grunge and punk motifs determine the style of the Rei Kawakubo, founder of brand. Courageous designs contrast with the designer's personality.

Junya Watanabe’s pinch of madness

Rei Kawakubo, founder of Comme des Garçons introduced Junya Watanabe to the world of high fashion in 1993, just after he graduated from the design school Bunka Fashion College. The founder of Comme des Garcons has always valued Junya Watanabe. Observation of the Tokyo style, intentional deconstruction, playing with textures and functionality have enriched the avant-garde tradition of Rei Kawakubo brand.

As part of the cooperation between the brand and the designer such items as Junya Watanabe jeans Scarves / shawls sweatshirt, lace dress and motorcycle Junya Watanabe jacket have been created. The artist often uses patchwork and unique prints in his work.
