Junya Watanabe Fall 2003 - Paris

[Astrid21]

I'm speechless. ops: This collection is beautiful and the background is surreal. I loved the rich tweeds and tartans. There was an unspoken beauty of the undone hems and sleeves that I can't express. The stripes also had a Parisian flair that I loved. Very nice and I'm very pleased.

I'm sorry for all the pictures. ops: This is just half of it.

looks like french fashion deconstructed by the avant garde japanese 8)

ps i really like it

The stripes also had a Parisian flair that I loved.

Yes! I love the stripes. Very parisian. And the hair...doesn't it sort of remind you of 18th century Marie Antoinette? I love it!

Excellent collection

For me, it has a modern Japanese take on 1940's style. Even the loose edges remind me of the 'make do & mend' philosophy during the war.

I love this collection. the heavily woven fabric, the unfinished edges...the period-inspired simplicity. I don't know if anyone will understand my connection, but some of the pieces look as though they've been drawn out of an ancient irish bog and reconstructed. a few things remind me distinctly of the shinrone gown. I don't know, it's a theory. ops: wherever the inspiration came from, I really like it. :grrr:
