Paris Fashion Week | Junya Watanabe Fall 2010

Stag­ing a mod­est fall show­ing, when Junya Watan­abe is not offer­ing their typ­i­cal spin on work­er­swear, they are tap­ping into one of fall’s largest emerg­ing trends. Adding a mod­ern ele­ment to clas­sic menswear, Junya Watan­abe fol­lows suit in incor­po­rat­ing leather inserts into its jack­ets. The results are a nice update for their ded­i­cated cus­tomer base, but unfor­tu­nately, while the col­lec­tion does enjoy moments of color and great tai­lor­ing, its vision is too safe.

Junya Watanabe Spring 2010

Describ­ing his lat­est col­lec­tion with the word snob, it is no won­der that Junya Watanabe’s lat­est efforts evoke images of leisure and the coun­try­side gen­tle­man. Enam­ored by a sound­track of French singer Serge Gains­bourg, the col­lec­tion of crisp check­ered and pat­terned suit­ing was grounded and made hum­ble with its inclu­sion of hooded blaz­ers, wind­break­ers and faded denim. Watanabe’s take on madras or the hunter’s jacket does not break new ground, but for what its worth, the col­lec­tion over­all, makes for a smart, cheery and well-​​tailored spring outing.

Hunters & Gatherers — Junya Watanabe Fall 2009

For fall, Junya Watan­abe present a less struc­tured col­lec­tion embrac­ing the hunter motif. Cords and plaids dom­i­nate the col­lec­tion that even includes a cou­ple quilted pieces. Some­where, Gior­gio Armani is hav­ing a heart attack.

Style Watch: Spring 2009

Pic­tured are some pieces that stood out to me, because of their styling.

1. LOVE the over­sized tee from Vivi­enne West­wood and the cut of the col­lar and hem.
2. LOVE the lay­ered sheer sweater and tank from Louis Vuit­ton.
3. LOVE the cropped trousers and styling from Junya Watan­abe.  A nice alter­na­tive to suit­ing shorts, which can be severe.
4. LOVE the pair­ing of cropped pants and high socks from Jean Paul Gaultier.
