Inspired by traditional Japanese paper craft (origami): by designer, Junya Watanabe for a / w 2015

Japanese avant garde designer

Junya Watanabe

is an innovative voice in the chorus of fashion design.

Educated at famed Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo (graduated, 1984);

mentored by designer, Rei Kawakubo (Comme Des Garçons);

in 1993, he launched his own line under the Commed Des Garçon umbrella-

Junya Watanabe Comme Des Garçons.

His menswear and womenswear collections regularly challenge

accepted aesthetic norms with unexpected design interpretives.

 

…

Not without his share of controversy,

his menswear collection for s/s 2016 came under intense

scrutiny, discussion, query:

use of only Caucasian models in preppy dress

and with African inspired textiles / accessories.

Was it willful “cultural appropriation”;

pointed commentary on colonialism-

a bit of both?

Was it singularly a bit of expressed disappointment by fashion-watchers

for the lack of model diversity in the runway representation? –

a bit of all of the above?

 

…

Honeycomb fabric feature

The Cheltenham Festival is a much anticipated event

on the English horse racing calendar.

It marks a high point of the jump racing season.

Starting in 1860, and referred to officially as The National Hunt Meeting,

the Festival lasts four days and occurs each March.

The venue is the Cheltenham Racecourse, Prestbury Park in Gloucestershire.

 

This year’s Cheltenham Festival takes place from

10 – 13 March, 2015.

…

As with Royal Ascot, which occurs each June and is

widely known for its sartorial display and Royal patronage-

The Cheltenham Festival also boasts

an impressive array of fashion watching-

particularly on its Ladies Day, when extravagantly styled head wear rules.

accessories, men's fashion, men's fashion accessories, men's fashion trends, menswear, menswear - bold accents

A statement-worthy accessory is key to elevating an outfit

to great sartorial heights.

It  can be the spotlight, stand-out feature of an ensemble

or an integral, yet quiet element of subtle interest.

 

…

 

Whatever its unique dress role, as accented by:

a hat, a tie, a piece of jewellery, a pair of socks (or lack of),

a pair of shoes, a pair of specs,  a pair of gloves , a bag or case-

 

an on-point accessory (or two, or three)

is fashion de rigueuer for achieving an inspired look.

Yohji Yamamoto brings ‘the sexy’ to his s/s 2015 collection at Paris Fashion Week

'sexy' fashion, bridal dress, Paris Fashion Week, spring/summer 2015, Yohji Yamamoto

Designer Yohji Yamamoto

is known for his contemplative aesthetics,

black colour story, loose-fit pieces, asymmetric details.

…

For his s/s 2015 collection he injected

‘the sexy’

on his own terms:

subtle, simple reveals

with mindful attention to body contours.

…

The collection had textural elements of

mixed fabrication and dashes of colour.

Colour has become more of a feature in recent collections,

a welcomed addition to the Yamamoto visual perspective.

…

The show highlight was the last piece:

a white bridal dress adorned with fresh flowers:

multi-tiered petal affect

cage crinoline silhouette

 accessorised with white gloves

and a white cycling helmet! …

It wouldn’t be Yohji Yamamoto without

a bit of the eccentric.

…
