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.
