Style needs

Junya Watanabe's unique interpretation of Western dress is completely his own. He has collaborated with some of the most iconic English and American companies, including Brooks Brothers, Levi's and Mackintosh. What makes Junya's clothes so special is that they are sculpted, rather than cut. His jackets and pants require complicated patterns to create this three-dimensional effect. Shorts wrap around the thigh and contour toward the knee. Jackets nip in at the waist and curve around the hips. I can't think of any other menswear designer that pays so much attention to the male form, while maintaining elegance. There is a sensual quality to his clothes that adds a new dimension to the very Western vocabulary of Jacket and Pants. He is truly Master of the Jacket.
