Junya Watanabe
Junya Watanabe is renowned for his avant-garde style, in particular his exploration of new cutting concepts, his ingenious sourcing of fabrics and innovative draping techniques. Watanabe’s submission, a dress from his Autumn/Winter 2005 collection, is part pretty fifties prom, part punk camisole in a genuinely modern reworking of traditional couture tailoring.
