Junya Watanabe F/W 2024.25 Paris

^ the lighting is just so much better in those, and you can see the full look in detail! firstview can be a bit too dark. This look had not gotten my attention until now, looks so cool and like it's fun and comfortable to wear.

Also, look at the level of engagement from the audience here!.. I NEED a video now, wonder how they achieved that (certainly not with boredom or a phone ban). I was looking at a video from CDG earlier and the models interacting with the crowd (through intimidation/anger lol) and it was so sad how even for something that involves some degree of performance and even when you ARE the target, the attendees are still 🤳🤳.. you just know these videos are to show off because.. what's so important that you can't stop and be present for one second? :glare:
 
For real like you're there ONCE and you know great big photos will be taken by professionals and posted online. If you have to show everyone you were there just film the finale...

Also I noticed the engagement too!! It made me so happy when I saw the same at Chloe too. Still some phones out but there were quite a lot of smiling faces instead of the usual these days.
 
Also so happy not to see boring faces of Mona, Rianne on his runway…

He took no prisoners, damn. Jumped right to the top of my list.
 
Paris really is the place to be when it comes to fashion. So many brilliant ideas and details we are witnessing here. Incredible!
 
Something about this is so vile and grotesque as a lot of this looks like these strange growths and textured crystalline mounds. But because the execution is so good, they become extremely seductive to look at. The intentional abstraction and wrongness on the body is balanced so well it’s in synch with the garments and the actual natural form.

And each time I see a Watanabe collection, I may not always love it (or it takes some time to take in and grasp it all), I always adore and appreciate the technical mastery. The play between the traditional and abstract is perfect. I even enjoy the florals here. They provide a nice dash of lightness to the different shades and textures of black and the navy. Necessary for them to be here, I don’t think any other fabric option would have worked. Maybe a polka dot? But that’s too juvenile for something like this, as everything else is too rigorous and severe.

Just a gorgeous collection. Top of the season and so direct in what it looks to do and say. So few of these this season, so it’s nice to have some positive conviction and confidence on show that works in full!
