Junya Watanabe’s 1998 collection for Comme des Garçons featured reversible garments made from unique textiles, allowing models to switch outfits on the catwalk.
The collection was a masterful fusion of avant-garde design and utilitarian aesthetics. Watanabe, known for his innovative approach to fashion, presented a collection that pushed the boundaries of traditional garment construction. This collection featured a juxtaposition of textures, with unexpected fabric combinations such as wool and leather, creating a sense of visual intrigue. The silhouettes were architectural yet fluid, with exaggerated proportions and asymmetrical details. Watanabe's signature deconstructed style was evident throughout, with garments that appeared to be dismantled and reconstructed with meticulous precision. The color palette was predominantly monochrome, evoking a sense of urban sophistication.
