HISTORY
From Junya Watanabe’s ongoing exploration of reconstruction and pattern manipulation, these shorts exemplify his ability to re-engineer everyday garments into sculptural forms. Working within the Comme des Garçons framework, Watanabe often deconstructs classic Americana—particularly denim—then rebuilds it through unconventional seam placement and volume. This piece reflects that philosophy: familiar at first glance, but radically altered in structure and movement.
