Junya Watanabe AW2006 Safety Pin Shirt
Junya Watanabe was annexed into the Comme Des Garcons universe as soon as he graduated from the Bunka Fashion Institute in Tokyo in the year 1894. He worked as a pattern maker until he was promoted to design director of the CDG knitwear line ‘Tricot.’ In 1992 he released his first collection to the world under the Comme Des Garçons umbrella. Although he could have left to pursue his own path, he decided to keep the CDG title in order to streamline the production of his collections, as well as out of respect for Rei Kawakubo’s set of ‘Kachikan.’ This is the code of ethics that Rei believes to keep all of the aspects of Comme Des Garçons, interconnected. Rei is consumed by the general concept of creating differences in a world filled of similarities. Junya’s avant-garde cutting and high-level pattern making allow for him to create an anomalous wardrobe for the man and the women alike, which resonates with the Kachikan of Rei and the Comme Des Garçons brand.
The Fall 2006 collection of Junya Watanabe ready-to-wear was a dark and littered runway filled with dark figures wearing black knitted masks, oversized mohair sweaters, and militant reconstructed cargo pants.
This olive cotton shirt is cut and reconstructed by the use of aligned rows of safety pins. The Pink collection was created to bring female silhouettes to male garments. This ideology holds true for this shirt.
Marked size S (please refer to measurements):
Shoulder: 35cm
