Starting as a pattern maker for Comme Des Garcons before heading the Tricot line for women, Junya Watanabe launched his eponymous brand under the CDG umbrella in 1992.
Garnering critical acclaim for his intricate, functional apparel that was ahead of its time, Watanabe’s designs are synonymous with complexity. He’s never afraid to push boundaries to transcend womenswear and his fluidity as a designer is evident in his four extremely different shows every year.
This pencil skirt from SS07 features intricately placed darts, creating a flared pleated hem.
