The year 2002 was a pivotal moment for Junya Watanabe, marking his first-ever menswear debut alongside his womenswear collection.
For Spring/Summer 2002 womenswear collection, Junya delivered a soft and gentle womenswear collection, showcasing his versatility as a designer. Using denim as his canvas, he created an ensemble of flowy and intricate looks. Models graced runway in long dresses and blouses with detailed pleats and voluminous folds, making the typically heavy material appear ever so light and effortless.
The reinterpretation of classic womenswear silhouettes was executed masterfully. By utilizing denim, Junya also explored complementary techniques often associated with the material, such as distressing, washing, warping, weaving, and cutting. This collection was yet another testament to Junya’s unwavering approach in garment design and innovation.
This beautiful belt is crafted from supple tanned leather and features studs spelling out “Love Is Powerful”.
