Junya Watanabe

Being hired as a pattern cutter and apprentice pattern maker by Comme des Garçons fresh out of college is an impressive feat. Going from those positions to design director at Comme des Garçons’ Tricot line in only three years is a legendary one, only possible by a talent as great as Junya Watanabe. Five years later in 1992, Watanabe went on to start his eponymous line for womenswear and Junya Watanabe Man for menswear. Over 25 years later, he’s spawned multiple classic collections for both women and men, as well as beloved collaborations with The North Face, Levi’s, Carhartt and many more.
