Junya Watanabe x Levis SS2016 Linen Patchwork Jacket
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 and 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.
This trucker jacket is made of a light linen in natural ecru and features tweed, houndstooth, paisley, and multicolored patches sewn into either sleeve. Silver polished hardware and buttoned pockets can be found on the front of the jacket.
