wonderful

any future Moncler collaborators take notes. Actually don't bother - this is the be all end all of down jacket, just like when Junya took Levi's and murked that shit.

inaya i don't know what you look like, but i can see you in this collection. Must be my sixth sense of styling telling me things.

Junya just took the bar and raised it to a level only Clark Kent (or Yohji) could dream of hurdling over.

[powerviolence]

whoah.

[inaya]

hehe well I do love huge voluminous garments that envelop my body and transform silhouettes so... yes... that makes this collection 110% wonderful for me

and I agree... I hope people don't ever try to mess with these type of jackets again cause he just set the bar unattainably high.

[juliaN.]

yeah

this is one of the definitive collections of this decade, now that it's almost coming to a close.

I don't follow too much fashion but based on what i've seen, there i said it.

[midnight]

The execution of pieces like these always gets me. Love the makeup on the models too.

[evisu 2000]

kamo is a genius

anyway this is pretty good i think

but long downs always remind me of soccermomxtnf

[Desi]

this collection is beyond amazing

[Jane Lane]

some incredibly amazing pieces here, and the makeup is bizarrely gorgeous. It looks like he pulled his models straight out of the original Nosferatu.

[Charlie Delta]

Astonishing!

Especially amazed by the make up, felt I was looking at faces drawn onto the photos for the first couple of looks.

I also see some Diane Pernet influences, heh heh...

[bencap]

woahhhhhhhhh

[Fookums]

wow.

The pieces by themselves are already ridiculously amazing, but the hair and makeup is what really pushes this over the top.

I dunno if I dig the gold chains on some of the pieces, but aside from that little quirk, lovelovelove all around.

someone page chadd from RO and tell him to rock this shit makeup and all.

[minou]

Branespload.

everything is so beautiful but i love this the most.

[DJ_Flame]

It slightly irks me that I'm not a lady and therefore be unable to wear 90% of this.

[panicnation]

I'm curious as to what is the 10% you could wear from this...

[ProfMonnitoff]

god damn

not only did he just make the last down jacket anybody ever has to make, he also killed it on drapy stuff, styling, makeup, hair, etc

everything about this is perfect

i think i've never seen this silhouette before, and i love it. best look in the collection in my opinion.

[inaya]

^^ me too so beautiful!

I'm curious as to what is the 10% you could wear from this...

imo it's the other way around... theyre very practical pieces, despite the unique silhouettes.

[juliaN.]

for their respective genders, Watanabe's womens is more accessible than the mens

The mens is often executed with really quirky styling, proportions, not to mention some of the roughest fabrics this side of Shetland that make them nice to look at, not so easy to pull off as a whole.

[78]

holy fuck

i'm speechless

[DJ_Flame]

I'm curious as to what is the 10% you could wear from this...

In retrospect, I would say 1%...wouldn't mind the more masculine down jackets or footwear.

NY Times has hi-res flash pics

ppl are underestimating his draping skills. haider, wilhelm, and on a lesser level rick do it well but junya is on some other shit. these down jackets are like raf f/w 06 reversible double zip jacket on steroids. i wonder how much they'll be. junya mens is really expensive

the vest/bolero reminds me of f/w 07 margiela
