Junya Watanabe Men's S/S 08.

[chris]

junya does prep school?

look at the thumbnails first. you could mistake some of the looks for thom browne (or something), until you zoom in and see the little details, and realize it definitely isnt.

LOVE IT.

Thanks for posting this Chris. I like some of the looks, but I'm not too fond of the school boy, 'out on the countryside' look. The detailing looks great from what little I can see in the pictures but this is one line that I'd love to see some more detailed pics.

Here's my favorite looks; The wrinkled fabric looks really nice.

[chris]

my favorite looks are devoid of pastel, argyle, or cricket sweaters... the ones you posted are rather nice, indeed.

[goldengloves]

Haha, yea I think you and I are on the same page for sure.

[Crillz]

OK Junya, fucking a, you did it. I must have this entire outfit.

[doctorgnar]

Freak yeah, I like that look Crilla posted.

Also really feeling on these:

[Charlie Delta]

Is that a Levi's tab I spot there?

So far nice! I must say.

[fade to black2]

this looks very Thom Browne...speaking of which, tried on a TB blazer today and while i'd never wear it, good to see there's actually stuff in his line you don't have to be 5'5 and built like a linebacker to fit in

this is a cool collection though, like a younger, fresher, more forward thinking version of Thom.

[Icarus]

This is lovely.

[RockTheVote]

i love it!

[mike lowrey]

I really like this. however I have kind of mixed feelings about Junya in general because of the inconsistency of the mens collections, the styles between seasons are very different.

[herpsky]

ill take a look on the 13th.

10 corso is the only joint that has an ok selection of junya.

but its most of his collabo stuff.

i dont even know where to look and im in japan...

[mike lowrey]

only place I've seen the suits for example from last collection was at lafayette in paris, they had a few ones. rest of the places its just been collabos and those ugly t-shirts. even at Como it was only a very few basic pieces.

[Fookums]

Damn, nice collection. I love most of it but some outfits throw me a bit off.

In particular, I love the shorts and pants. I probably wouldn't wear it like the models, but they're all pretty much wearable. The suit jackets for the most part are really interesting also.

[Fuuma]

The wrinkled, luxurious fabrics and man-child mashups of formal and prep school actually remind me of Lanvin more than anything else. Very nice, especially since I didn't dig Lanvin all that much this season.

[nairb49]

max-i'm with you 100%, this really reminds me of lanvin. which would explain why I also love this so much. must have it.

[ddohnggo]

i haven't liked much of junya watanabe's stuff until this collection.

[Fuuma]

As a buyer I'm only interested in the wrinkled suit jackets but I do appreciate that he create a whole believable look for this collection.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

The looks Gnar and Gloves posted are "A+++ would do business again soon!"

[keysonawire]

I hate pre-wrinkled or "vintage washed" clothes, it's such a gimmick. I can wrinkle suits on my own thank you very much. Other than that, I'm liking the collection. It's like 60s prep/club med with a bit of grunge.

After living in Paris/Milan for a year this is exactly the direction I've been going with my outfits. The thing I like best about this style, is that it never seems to get old.You could wear some of this stuff into your 50s. Well, at least the shoes and some shirts/sweaters. But you get my meaning.

It makes Supreme/Stussy/Nike/Nudie/etc. and the "streetwear" style in general look really immature and uninspired by comparison.

[beberthur]

Fucking great.

[keysonawire]

can I get that hat please?

[SENDkylHISPASSWORD]

This is an amazing collection. I'm not big on the rolls on the pants or the high socks with the shorts, but is fantasitc otherwise. The rumpled pieces are giving me an upscale Enginereed Garments vibe.

[mellowbonsai]

anyone know of where i can police this shit

half-hearted googling turned up little

[jf30]

10 Corso Como in Tokyo, i had a look on sunday, they had a big selection, call on a proxy.
