“Creating objects, not clothes,” said Junya Watanabe post show. For Spring Summer 2024, he revisted his obsession and exploration on abstract, geometrical garments which we saw a few seasons ago.
The show opened with black, overlapping forms constructed from sharp triangles and protruding tubular structures, extending outward from the body in every direction, setting the tone for the rest of the show.
Watanabe dismantled classic clothing staples before reconstructing them through his origami-like approach. Motorcycle jackets, trench coats, and bombers were taken apart and rebuilt into entirely new garment forms.
As the show progressed, these extreme shapes were translated into more wearable pieces, while retaining the same geometric and angular treatment.
From his Spring Summer 2024 ready to wear offering, this blouse is crafted from a polyester dobby woven fabric and finished with a gathered neckline trimmed with pearls, alongside a folded ribbon at the front.
