Thanks Runner for the pics:-)

Here too

not bad but nothing new...

 

[TheSoCalledPrep]

The first two looks are great... a pretty strong collection. Very wearable yet unique.

 

[nqth]

It looks quite disapointing for me actually. Maybe I expected sth more:-) The colletion looks good, dynamic and "the boots are really interesting".

Trouses are superb, tho. I think I am still in a "suit" mood:-)

 

[nqth]

I am also wondering if the fabrics are high-tech like goretex ... (like he did for women few years ago). Tailored "urban-adventurous" clothes are much better.

 

[Mr-Dale]

I think it's very nice!

 

[Reece]

Me no likie...

 

[orlem]

Those hats! They remind me of Cyrano deBergerac and his panache!

 

[Scott]

Is there an ode to Swiss kitsch in this? Somehow,everything I see points in that direction: logger boots,the knits;the hats which remind of yodelers...

 

[softgrey]

yeah....i see that scott...somehow the hats and ropes are distracting from the clothes...but then when you really look at the clothes...i don't even like them...

not a good season for junya imo...

yea, a bit weird. hmmm. something is not clicking this season or what? Of course, the final test will be at the stores, as always

 

[Scott]

I don't like it much either. Like nqth,I do wish there was a bit more structure because those shapes are like potato sacks.

 

[PrinceOfCats]

The usual rubbish...clothes that don't fit and all that...

swiss mountain climber theme I see.

There are a couple pieces I really like but like mikeijames said, nothing new.

 

[Lena]

nothing beathtaking and a bit on his own drum as always,
which doesn't bother me too much for ss05
since most menswear seem a bit flat and on the same tune.
i find it a good alternative for younger guys.

i like almost all the tops (shirts etc) and all his checked fabrics,
swiss mood sounds pretty good for summer vacations destination
as opposed to the current "fashion travel trends" eg: Milano africa trends etc

Have to admit, not really liking this. I find it irritating that JW for his menswear HAS to have an extraneaous theme to his clothing - eg, college student, wild west, happy army, mountaineer. I think his first collection was the only one that was really innovative, and to me at least, it didn't seems to have a laboured theme. I think it probably will look good in the store, but I just can't help feeling that he could do a lot better. Why would we want to look like a Swiss mountaineer, unless we were actually preparing to walk up a mountain in Switzerland!? It pains me to say this, but it actually reminded me of D Squared!

I also like the first collection! It was fresh and very JW-sweet :-) I think this AW 04 collection (with small suits) is also superb.
